Doviis tend to get a little larger than 10-12, and trimac(normally are to find true trimacs) get anywhere from 12-16" unless female.
 
Cubans, istlanum, dempseys, green terrors, xiloensis,saggitae, there's a few others that'll Max out in the 10-12" range but the others mentioned especially parachromis grow to 16" and up
 
yeah oscars and jags and dovii get larger than 12in, dempseys stay at 10-12in for males, and midas/red devils are cool fish that tend to max at a foot some severums can get 10in if you want something less aggressive

I agree ... would also include h. cyanoguttatus and h. carpintis ... commonly sold as "Texas" and "Green Texas", respectively ...
