I was thinking of picking up a few pbass my lfs has for sale. I was wonder about what size they start pairing off and breeding. the store doesn't know the species either, they are just selling them as pbass $35 for about 3 inch babies. What are the common species of pbass.
 
mono and ocell most likely one of those thats a little pricy for that small
 
Most common are monos, occels and mono/occel hybrids. Then tems are next. They start pairing off at 12 inches but their has been a pair on here that bred at 9 inches
 
Are there any marks on them that can help me identify them that small? What should I look for? I called around, and another lfs has 2-2 inchers for $25 each. They don't know exactally what they are either.

When they breed do they can nasty like some other large cichlids (dovii, red devil,umbii) Are they easy to breed? Do I have to watch out for the male killing the female?
Sorry lots of questions, never had these fish before, always wanted them just don't know much about them.
 
I know people hate hybrids but I was thinking of trying the same thing. I want an Azul x Kel
 
I don't hate hybrids, as long as they cull the ones that come out with the unwanted traits. I've seen alot of downright ugly flowerhorns out there.
