Question about polar cichlids

[coryuo1986]

I’ve got a question. I know this isn’t really a monster fish keeping question but how big so polar blue parrot fish get? I keep reading sizes that vary so widely does anyone know for sure?

Given that they are just short bodied versions of convict or Honduran red point cichlids, I can’t see a male getting any bigger than 4 inches.

If they're short bodied it's gonna be more like 2.5-3", then again they likely have convict blood so will likely still get around 4-5".

Have some and the males maxed out at 3”-3.5” and got super round and fat
Females maxed out at 2.5”

Ah ok sounds good are they excessively aggressive or are they along the lines of other parrots?

They will behave just like regular convict cichlids. Can be mean but only at their worst when breeding.

But then they also have the parrot mouths usually so it's fine

Actually they have normal mouths and have the temperament of a Honduran Red Point so they are way more mellow than Convicts
