When the fish I have now were collected, they were mature adult Andinoacara, and topped out at maybe a little over 5"-6" for males.
The most dominant male, drove 2 similar size males out of a 180 gal tank. (less predatory than your Parachromis, which more than double their size.

As you can see (above) they were collected with a number of similar size crustaceans.
But within about 2 weeks, all the crustaceans were gone, eaten.
