I'll just tell you right now you'll likely have to start with live food and ween them off, you can find out how to do that on here in the cichla section

Not true, out of all the Pinima I’ve had not one has refused prepared. The 13 I have now started on freeze dried krill then pellets a couple days later, they’re nothing like that of kelberi which takes the most time ime to pellet train.
How is there aggression vs azul or kel? I have 3 5inch kels and 1 azul 6 to 7 inches. Looking to maybe pick one up.
imo they’re the most aggressive bass in the trade even at small sizes. second being orinos and tems. They’ll definitely outgrow the kels but the azuls should be able to keep up.
They grow out nice. Here are 4inch one's that are for sale

Probably wasn't wild caught then, that or it was already on prepared food when you first got it.
