I'm glad he's eating. I wouldn't have said there was anything wrong with them in that first pic, but then I looked at the other and you can see they're not right.
They have very pretty shells too.

they are from my local petshop they have a load in at the moment, i got them when they where 4cm and they where beautiful, i gave two away and kept these for myself. I suppose the only up side is that if one or both of them do die i can still buy a couple from the same batch as the others at the petshop still haven't sold, although i don't think there is one as beautiful my one on the right.

after 2 months of not eating or drinking my 2 sick fulica are recovering after having the same problem, still skinny but getting there, i started feeding them cuttlefish paste, which is basically powdered cuttlefish mixed with water to form a paste which they would only eat then after about 2 weeks i started mixing a bit of hemp in for about a week then banana or kiwi, and sqeazing a bit of orange juice in, then i started to hand feed them cucumber, which again they would only eat and a bit of kiwi. and then 2 weeks last week i saw them wrapped aroung a piece of corgette (if thats how you spell it) rasping away, and now they are getting less weak and have started climbing up the sides of the tank again and on the lid, their shells aren't brittle anymore and have got a bit of new shell growth and they are even starting to take interest in the other fulica again! i am soo happy they are go up and hope they keep going up
