Feeding quiestion
Typically males will not have too much ionterest in food while they are in breeding mode. Generally once the female ovulates he snaps out of the breeding mode and generally starts getting ready to eat. I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Except for that dirty water, which I’m sure you changed after the pic. Typically females will take a couple small meals while gravid but you should never feed her 6 weeks befor she is expecting.
