True parrotcichlids are rare and should be tankspawned (challange) to ensure survival and that they are kept in the hobby, however I think they get 12-16".

A labiatus , if you find F0s , as the pure strain is becoming increasingly rare and hard to find. Again - large 10-14" and quite aggressive.

A lot of pikes are cool and not often encountered in the hobby , consequently wildcaught, so tankbreeding would take the pressure off the wild.

If you are committed , make sure you get quality stock to help insure strong and true offspring that will benefit the hobby.
