I have seen other small cichlids Jaw lock, I think it's for dominance, and territory.

Aye, it is very normal at that size for pretty much any cichlid to jaw lock. They start establishing dominancy way before that, and pretty much the moment they're able to use other methods of aggressive display, they'd use it.
