They do have a scientific name already and it's N. mortenthaleri.

They can be a little picky about food. As with picky fishes, they will take to live food more readily, but then, there is always a risk of introducing diseases via the live food.

Flakes should be okay. They aren't always voracious about food but as long as they are eating, I think they should do just fine.

But... they are not the easiest of fish to keep. Do a search in the forum, there are some discussions.
