I would get get the water tested for ammonia, nirtite, and nitrate. If you can't get that done, i recomend u do a water change. Maybe 20% or so. Have you tried feeding them? Maybe that would stimulate your fish. Don't try to treat them using chemicals if you're not sure they're sick. Best of luck.

Try a large water (75%) change, seems like some sort of poisoning like ammonia or nitrite. Also, is the temperature too low? Or couild something might have accidentally dropped into the tank? Do you have any rocks in the tank (metal poisoning?)

Sounds a lot like a water concern.
