It is not unusual for fish to take a while before they feed after a move, maybe up to about 10 days with no problem. These are a type of pike characin, family Ctenoluciidae (Boulengerella maculatus) and can get about 12" (30 cm) long. They will like live shrimp, crickets, and cockroaches as well as fish. That is a very nice pair.

Their nose tip's are very damaged. That is from running into the glass, they must be very stressed. But I do agree, your tank is stunning.

stunning tank...hopefully things are going well with the feeding by this point. One thing that i have noticed about gars, pike characins, and all fairly rigid elongated fish is that it is not uncommon for them to go in a frenzy when being introduced to a new environment or even having their environment changed around them once established. Also when the tank is heavily planted and decorated the fish can feel restricted which leads to the head-banging and curvature or damage to the nostril areas and jaws. Once they get a feel for their new surroundings they should be eating plenty.
