I know the fish on the left is a Greater pipefish (Syngnathus acus), but I don't recognize the longish fish on the left. I was thinking some kind of wrasse, goby or blenny maybe, but that doesn't seem to fully fit with the shape. These were in a temperate tank.

@gentle lemur Thank you very much for the identification.

Pholis gunnellus seems to be fit visually and Zootierliste lists the species for the tank where I took this photo, so I think you are correct.

Also thank you for your comment on the food.
