Not sure what species you're calling by that name. There's a native fish called a pirate perch (Aphredoderus sayanus gibbosus), but it's not a typical aquarium species. It's a US native found along the Mississippi River drainage and the eastern coastal plain. Some interesting biology though: http://www.wnrmag.com/stories/2004/apr04/perch.htm
Perhaps you mean parrot fish? You can find information on these at these links: http://parrotcichlid.com/ , http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/haps/red_blood_parrots_1.html

Are you sure you don't mean a parrot fish? There's 3 different types: 1 is a New World cichlid, 1 is a hybrid cichlid and 1 is a saltwater fish.

Was not able to find much for pirate fish, sorry. But I did find this weblink with fish profiles if you would like to look at it. Maybe it is a different name?
