EB cichlid internal parasites?

[Dustin3006]

i originally posted this in the ca/sa cichlid forum but I will try here for better results. I have an electric blue acara breeding pair in a 45 gallon by themselves. They have bred once and used to eat like pigs. Since they have bred they have been eating picky I haven't seen them eat for almost a month until today I tried frozen bloodworms. I've already tried peas, but I have them to the fish raw instead of boiled. Is there a difference for the fish? Anyways both of them have sunken in bellys. I will include pictures but they are super fast and couldn't get my camera to focus well

Get them a bunch of aquatic insects and do frequent water changes. Stick your hand in the tank to make sure the heater is working.

Aquatic insects ?

They seem to help boost immune system,and are the number one food source for most cichlids in the wild:insects such as damselfly,mayfly larvae are easy to collect,however if u can't find any u can try crickets.

thats odd. normally need to be pretty happy to breed. Any change in tankmates? You can try a broad spectrum dewormer such as prazi also can consider metro for Spironucleus

They are now healthy i medicated the tank, they still won't breed though and the male bullies the female
