Baby jags - How long until superterritorial?

[JESTERX626]

Usually at what size do they bicker over territory? Just wondering.

 

[mostlycichlids]

they are fully mature at five inches or so and really tank size and other factors can contribute to agression my jag is a female and she is pretty docile.

i know that females are more terrioal than males do to breeding habbits

 

[mostlycichlids]

yeah my female just laid eggs a couple of weeks ago but no male so they got eaten or died. She got super territorial during the process and took over 3/4 or more of the tank. She is back to her docile self now.

mine is 15" and still isnt what I would call super territorial.

mine is 15" and still isnt what I would call super territorial.

mine is 8'' now and is kept with a mayan and TSN and really not all that aggresive ..
there are nipp's here and there but , no constistant tormenting or chasing around my tank any way . but some fish are more agressive then other's of the same speice. they say at 6 to 7 inches tank mate come in to risk , just watch you fish and if agression is present . divide off the tank or set up a new one for this fish only.. here is a pic of mine

I had a 9" male that was a bastard. He eventually killed my Clarias and Pleco. It was sad.

It sounds to me like it depends on the tankmates, tank size and individual fish ? I guess you can get lucky/unlucky depending on how you look at it and get a mellow jag? I think once they start getting over half a foot you need to keep an eye on them.
