Acestrorhynchus, which sometimes are called "pike characin" or "freshwater barracuda", but both those names are rather misleading and sometimes used for other genera.

Unfortunate that this place suffers from the same unsigned-species-problem found in many aquariums worldwide.

Thanks!
They were actually labelled as Hydrolycus scomberoides, and although I've not seen any this small before I got the impression they were more likely juveniles of a related species. Thanks for clearing it up.
