Two things to consider ...

Try white worms as an alternate food ...

and

Get hold of some Flubendazole.  You may have an internal
bacteria/parasite/etc.  I have seen fish (Nothos in particular) that are not
eating recover very well after a couple treatments of Flubendazole.  I am
not certain, but Charles Harrison may be a source.

I have a dozen pairs of Nothobranchius symoensi, my second generation and
the females look pretty bad.  They just don't
eat enough.  I offer them live blackworms, frozen bloodworms, and live bbs
and all they do is pick at them.  I've raised the temperature but it hasn't
helped.  I'm afraid I'm going to lose this species if I can't get them to
put on some weight.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
