Answers:

I bought a pair tagged as Spotted Climbing Perch, and found they were a pair of Leopard Ctenopoma. They weren't very interesting, as they would tend to hide in the bunches of Aponogetons and 'lay in wait' which I found out was part of their hunting behaviour in the wild. They are 'semi-aggressive' and were aggressive toward some of my Upside-down catfish, so I eventually had to sell them.

As for feeding, you can try a trick I use for my Tetras and their various foods. I feed them freeze dried bloodworms twice a week, so I mix a small amount in a cup half filled with tank water and allow it to sit for a few moments, then dump it all in. Freeze dried foods tend to float, but this way most of it will at least stay suspended in mid-water range for enough time that the pair geta few mouthfuls and follow it to the surface. These fish are carnivores, so you should stick with carnivorous pellets, krill, bloodworms and other food marketed for carnivorous fish. Only a pinch every day will do until they reach adult size at about 5-6 inches. Your Tetras will clean up after the pair as Tetras are omnivorous, but this might also trigger aggressive behaviour.
