They feed on things like snails in the wild but you should feed them Good flake/tablet as well as frozen foods like brineshrimp,shrimp and mysis

That depends on the stocking; mbuna need a veggie-based diet, but Hap's or Tanganykians are mainly predatory fish.
Petricola are social fish, you really should have more than 2. The more of them you have (depending on stocking space) the more active/visible they'll be. I really wouldn't recommend less than 5 of any schooling/social fish regardless of family.
