Like cichlid means a fish of the family Cichlidae, characin means a fish of the family Characidae, none have whiskers, many have adipose fins, all have teeth and scales, all lay eggs, they include all the piranha and tetras.
Meaning do people actually eat it for food???(10) yes and no (it is sometimes eaten by locals but there is no major fishery for it) this is true for almost every freshwater fish including guppies. It is eaten and caught sometimes by sport fishermen but that is incidental to fishing for other species.
(11) yes, maybe restricted in some states but I have never seen any listings that named it forbidden.
