I'm kinda worried... I know they have knocked out most of the snail population in my tank... I haven't seen many snails in the last couple of weeks. I tried sticking some tubifex in on a toothpick, and nobody bit at it... they would look at it, but just turn away. One of them also has a sunken belly, so I don't think they're getting much food. What is something they will definitely respond to? Blackworms? I have some dried baby shrimp (Tetra brand), they didn't respond to that either.

Thanks
 
frozen bloodworms, although chances are if they have sunken bellies you should treat them for internal parasites.
discomed by aquatronics (I think that's the company's name) will be what you're going to use.
DPs won't eat any amount of dried, freeze dried or flake foods. Strictly blood worms and live blackworms. Maybe brine shrimp, but I'm not sure on that. I never fed mine brine shrimp, just frozen blood worms.
