Leptobarbus hoevenii are also called Mad Barbs as well as Cigar Shark. This is because they can be VERY skittish in an aquarium situation and dash up and down the tank.
I had one that took a flying leap out of an impossibly small hole in the lid when I was cleaning one day. Landed on the carpet and had to be returned to tank after carefully having the fluff washed off in a bucket. He was absolutely fine. They can also grow very big - although they do seem to be slow growing in a tank situation. How are you doing getting yours to feed?

How long have you had them?
Dont know these fish myself but some can take upto and over a week to start eating after a move. May just be that.

Assuming all your params are right and they have suitable conditions to not feel threatened... try Hikari carnivour delite or massivore delite, yet to find a fish that wont take these after a few tries, even some very picky wild caught preditors. Failing that small earth worms should get them going and full of protein whilst you try to find a prepared food they'll take.

Do a nice big water change and bump up the oxygen levels a bit and i think you`ll see a difference.
They don`t like old water so a 25 percent change every couple of weeks helps.
