So I have three midevils left that I need to sell. Biggest one is 4 inches and other two are 3 inches. For the longest time I thought they were all male but when I put the three in a 20 gallon long two right away locked lips and rubbed against each other which I thought was weird. They always stayed in the tank together as well and the smaller one would be more aggressive.

They're a few months old they grew quick. Are they sexually mature at 3"?

I do not one any of these Red Devils anymore I have like f10s at my house already from a pair I had to get rid of lol

I would definitely think they would be mature at 3". I've had parrots breed smaller than that. The smallest I've had large cichlids breed were a pair of jags, the male was barely 3" and the female was about 2".

As for incest. I moved some juvie convict x sajica into the main tank that contained their father (sajica) and he bred with 2 of his daughters within a few days and I'm 90% sure it was at pretty much the same time but I think one of the females ate the other females eggs.
