Breeding

What triggers the female to lay eggs for the first time?

Maturity and comfort really. If it feels threatened then she won't produce eggs. I know with some fish if you want them to lay eggs then do water changes regularly and raise the water temp by 2 degrees. It worked flawlessly for all my fish. Others just do it. My female managuense I used to have, literally as soon as she hit 4" she laid eggs. But at 4" they're sexually nature, and she was very happy in my aquarium.

I got a 125 gallon tank with firemouths Convicts, blue acaras, Salvinis, all laid eggs at temperature 86

Just raise the temp (whatever it is set at) by 2 degrees. Then wait a few days, and check the females stomach area before feeding. If she's getting bigger than normal then you might have some fry within the next week
