Mature size for a nattereri to breed

[Atfownz]

I was just curious about the following question. At what size is a pygocentrus natterri mature and ready to breed? Thoughts ??

Generally after their teens over a year old, about 6-8" is when they reach sexual maturity.

Plus not to mention you need a pretty large tank to do so

not really, they're already pushing close to the one year mark if they're 4-5 inches

Yea there prlly just now entering their teen stage, which imo is when they really start nipping at eachother. I know size doesn't determine sexual maturity but any rbp I've seen breed (not my own) has always been 6"+

They been nipping each other a lot. I see they are getting really comfortable tho.. I turn the light on regularly on a time schedule and they are really active. Just I covered about 65% of the light tho lol
