Are they in temporary nursery tanks or did you put them directly into their permanent tank? If they were immediately put together, one may be intimidating the other a bit. He may just need some time to adjust to new conditions, although leucomelas in general have big appetites and seldom let their stressful changes or intimidation inhibit them from pigging out for long. For now, I would just make sure there is an abundance of food, good cover, like some loose leaf litter, and observe whether he is getting too thin or not.
