According to Fishbase, it is found in "tributaries of Fonseca Gulf in Honduras and Nicaragua; Atlantic slope in the San Juan River basin, including Lakes Managua, Nicaragua, Jiloá and Apoyo".
Archocentrus centrarchus is not seen frequently in the hobby.
Archocentrus centrarchus is found mostly in shallow water environments such as ditches and shallow ponds, even in conditions of reduced oxygen.

The flier (Centrarchus macropterus) is a sunfish (family Centrarchidae) native to muddy-bottomed swamps, ponds, weedy lakes, and riverine backwaters across the American South, from southern Illinois east to the Potomac River basin and south to Texas.
The generic name, Centrarchus, derives from the Greek κέντρον (centre, in this sense "sting") and άρχος (ruler, in this sense "anus"), in reference, presumably, to the sharp spines on the anal fin.
Centrarchus being the type genus of family Centrarchidae, it gives its name to the whole sunfish family.

They were placed in the 200 liters tank with a pair of adult Archocentrus centrarchus and several Australian rainbowfish as dither.
A month later when the Archocentrus centrarchus spawned, territorial disputes arose, resulting in the ejection of the male Parachromis motaguensis from the tank.
The rainbowfish were systematically shredded and eaten, and eventually the Archocentrus centrarchus had to be moved to another tank.

 Flier
flier (Centrarchus macropterus) is a sunfish (family Centrarchidae) native to muddy-bottomed swamps, ponds, weedy lakes, and riverine backwaters across the American South, from southern Illinois east to the Potomac River basin and south to Texas.
macropterus is currently the only species of genus Centrarchus Cuvier, 1829, but Lacépède had originally assigned it to Labrus (now confined to some marine wrasses).
The generic name, Centrarchus, derives from the Greek κέντρον (centre, in this sense "sting") and άρχος (ruler, in this sense "anus"), in reference, presumably, to the sharp spines on the anal fin.

The Flier Cichlid, 'C.' centrarchus has a very high body and small, protruding mouth; characters that reminded its describers of North American sunfishes of the genus Centrarchus.
After hatching, most fry of the North American cichlasomines are moved from pit to pit as were the fry of most of the cichlids covered in Parts One and Two of this series.
Herotilapia multispinosa and 'Cichlasoma (Archocentrus)' centrarchus, however, often move their fry to the roots of floating plants, especially if the water has a low dissolved oxygen level.

A month later when the Archocentrus centrarchus spawned, territorial disputes arose, resulting in the ejection of the male Parachromis motaguensis from the tank.
The rainbowfish were systematically shredded and eaten, and eventually the Archocentrus centrarchus had to be moved to another tank.
But in my mind (due to their beauty and rarity) any and all misbehaviors on the part of the Parachromis motaguensis pair were excused.

With a lot of data you probably end up with hundreds of different trees which are all possible but which have a slightly lower probability.
Also, it is difficult for me to derive a phylogeny from a gene tree (a single (?) gene, cytochrome b, was investigated) as implied by your placement of centrarchus in Amphilophus.
Those A. centrarchus were the ones that were available at > the time Biff Bermingham did his original study on heroines from Lower > Mesoamerica.

 Sam Borstein's Cichlid Site - Archocentrus centrarchus
They are not that agressive, but since they are large, should be placed in a tank that fits their size.
Archocentrus centrarchus is a robust fish, so it needs to be fed hardy food.
Through the mid-west and on the east coast, you should have no problem finding this fish, as it is circulating around the hobby, but Archocentrus centrarchus is pretty hard to get on the west coast.
