Males dont want to eat... just mate (help)

[Neill]

So pretty much all my males don't want to eat a thing. They all just want to mate CONSTANT butt dragging. My females at this point are all bigger then males and males are all down to like the 45gram mark. Anyone got some ideas on what to do to get mind off mating and get some food in them?

I was actually thinking leave them in a cage with females and when females reject them for being to small maybe they will realize i need to eat to get the girl ... As opposed to literally being sex starved.

Put each male in his own bin or tank and let them feed up.

I say separate 'em too, they'll come around. But in their defense, I feel exactly the same way most of the time...

That is the thing THEY ARE all in separate tanks by them selves. They just not interested in feeding.

I have one male that will eat if I pick him up and push the feeder in his face, but not on his own. You could always try that.
