Info on pike liverbearer

[cichlidfish]

Anyone keep these? i am thinking about buying one or more and have some questions:
1. i have read males get 4'' and females get 9''. Is this true?
2. do they breed as easy as other livebearers?
3. are they hard to feed? i see they wait for food to pass by and ambush it. do they need live foods?
4. can you mix them with lesser aggressive CA cichlids?

they are skittish.
so cichlids are bad.
not sure about max sizes cause i cant remember.
they can be weaned off live foods,but not very easily.
they breed as well as other livebearers,but take longer than most.
