Hoplarchus psittacus is a species of cichlid endemic to the blackwater rivers in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela, including the Rio Negro, Jamari, Preto da Eva, Urubu rivers and upper Orinoco drainages.[1][2] This fish can reach a length of 35 centimetres (14 in) TL and is important as a food fish to local indigenous peoples. This species is currently the only member of its genus.[1] This species is occasionally kept as an aquarium fish and is traded under the common name "parrot cichlid" (a name also used for one sister species and a hybrid fish).[1][3]
