Answer 1

I don't think this particular fish is a flower horn (distinguished by the large "bubble" protrudence on it's head), but I think it is closer to being a Red Oscar...oscars are more common..they are related to jack dempseys, sunfish and chichlids. They DO eat smaller fish, but are one of the more "affectionate" fish. I had a couple oscars, and they were very comical. They often like to rearrange their surroundings, and have a deep love of freeze-dried bloodworms.

I've included the link to Animal Planet's website guide to this breed of fish.

Answer 2

That my friend, is a lovely Oscar.
It will eat other fish as it is aggressive.
Try looking at liveaquaria for more information.
