Once every other day in summer, once a week in winter.
Can also do smaller meals once per day, keep a day of fasting, always good for any fish but it is important to feed them much less once your water goes cooler, to replicate winter and to make sure their slowed metabolism can take it.

Might want to add insects to their diet if you can, that's what they eat most in the wild. :)

Looks male, judging by the overlapping of the dorsal and caudal fin if I remember Devon's guide.

Both pictures are not perfectly sideways and don't show it flaring, but that would be my guess.
