Neosilurus Novaeguineae I reckon

Do they take long to start eating? Mine are still very skittish and I haven't seen them eat, except maybe a few bloodworms once

Got anything in there eating pellets? Should take pretty easy with a couple of rainbows. If not feed live and give some cover. They prefer your softer type pellets.

Yeah but only the bigger pellets like massivore. Will have to look for small soft pellets. I'm also putting in frozen bloodworms. Hopefully they will start eating in a couple days

Perhaps break up the pellets and presoak to soften.

I'm happy to report that after getting two more, they are now much more bold and are eating very well!
