Okay so something is not right here. Have adolescent/adults that have been good feeders. Actually two in separate enclosures, flame male and albino flame female, 2-3 years old.

The last few weeks they act very hungry but turn down both pinkies and trout. They come dashing up hungry but then back away as if it smells terrible. For a while they would take the trout but not like the pinkies.

I tried dethawing both pinkies and trout separately but they still act "hungry yet repulsed".

What is wrong here? Any ideas? They act hungry, searching, dashing, tongue flicking, yet get repulsed by the food, pulling back suddenly or the male rubs his head in the substrate as if he wants to get that horrible scent away from him.
