Looks like Liposarcus pardalis.
They are ominvorous and I would say a 50/50 diet of greens and meaty food should be OK.

Well, it's kind of hard to tell from the pic you have. Got a better one?
Specifically, a side-view shot would help things.

From the colouration in the pectoral fins, I would say that is a gibbi, but as Silurus says, more pics would be good for a 100% ID.

You can't reliably do so.

No.

Yes, if you have a large one and plenty of mud.

batang_mcdo,

I don't want to be rude, but all these things you are asking are stated on the species page for this fish - don't you believe us?!? ;-)
