Ken- try chopping up or mashing some cooked shrimp to see if they eat that more aggressively. Or try chopping up into very small pieces some of your homegrown worms. A razor blade works as a good chopper. Don't use a lot of wet food, just enough to see if they will eat it. This wet food will make the water a lot dirtier so be prepared for more water changes if you try this.

To see if they are growing, compare the tank fish with their siblings in the pond.
