ok, you need to get them eating ASAP, try some live brine shrimp, if possible feed them up on spirolina before you feed them to your fish.

i just atched some bbs but they are so tiny
i squirted some in the tank but they dont seem to notice
can i raise them the shrimps to get bigger
could i add flakes that have spirulina
my ram fry love it though and tetras to chow down on it (other tanks)

you'll need adult shrimp for the bigger fish, if you can add a tsp of spriolina powder (dislove it in water first) to the brine shrimp tank the adult shrimp will chow down on it and you'll see green in the digestive tract, feed these to your fish.

the other thing that works well if they still swim to you for food is crushed ramshorn snails from your tank, but these must be worm free to avoid making the fish worse.
