Hello everyone, ive recently aquired approximately 8 Jack Dempsey juvenilles at approximately 2 inches each and from my observation, predict that they are indeed an assortment of males and females. How long does it take for them to pair up and at what size/age do they usually pair? Ive noticed them chasing each other around without actually doing any damage to each other. They are currently housed in a 55g with 140gph of filtration and lots of driftwood, pots, rocks, and caves to hide. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Is there anything in particular i should look for to determine if a pair has formed. Im afraid of a pair forming and waking up to a tank full of dead fish.
