These things are not a naturally evolved fish so they have no "proper taxonomic name" and as such they should not exist. They were developed/bred in a Chinese laboratory from the ova (egg) of one species of South American cichlid being artificially impregnated by the sperm of a different South American species. If you must house one then treat it as you would treat any other large South American Cichlid. You can only mix them with other large South American species.
Some of them are not that aggressive and do tolerate other fishes including other flowerhorns. As flowerhorn community tanks are kept by flowerhorn hobbist's along with other types like Parrot, Kingkong Parrots, Oscars as well.
