Welcome to MFK☺
The Barracuda needs to acclimate to its new environment. Could you post a pic.

That's a hujeta gar. Get some floating plants. It'll help to settle it in. Even getting a couple more will help reduce stress.

If it's just newly added then give it time and will eat soon.

Mine would eat floating flakes, tubifex, carnisticks and etc.

Should be easy to break off of live food. Sometimes making sure the food is shaped like a feeder and thrown into some current will help.

Like tlindsey tlindsey mentioned. Get off the live foods as the risk of disease/parasites.
