Parrot Cichlid

1. Man-made? I read that they're a genetically created fish.
Hybrid would be the term....

2. Color Changes? I was told to buy them young while they were still
black/grey, then can get them cheaper, and watch the color changes.
Have seen them in Red, Orange, Teal, Blue, and Green....

3. Behavior - Do these Cichlids behave themselves in a non-cichlid
community? What has been know to be good tank mates?
I've seen them lock jaws with Severums, Firemouths, Jewels, Chocolates, Red
Devils, and they all got tore up...

4. Size - What is the average adult size of a Parrot, and growth rate?
The biggest I've seen in 4 years is 4 inch body length

Thanks!
Don't take my word for it, these are just my observations...
