What are your temps at? At this time of year they should be heading into a winter cycle and their appetite can drop off , twice a week fall feedings is probably more then they it needs. so I wouldn't worry,& just reduce the feedings to avoid the waste.
I find this especially true with the males who also tend to and become quite reclusive and retreat into their favorit cave for the winter , I Find the females tend to remain more active but should still be fed less in winter months or they are prone to obisiety .

Temps around 22 there isn't a heater in tank so will drop when it gets colder , out the 2 the male feeds fine it's like a pig but the other only gets something when the other is full up
Here are the pair I think the lighter of the 2 is male but could be wrong
