what is the smallest size for breeding with jaguar cichlids?

because I have two little jags one about 3inches and the other about 2.5 inches and yesterday I saw what looked to be breeding behavior!!


like the woould fight for like 30 min

and then swimm together like they were a pair and the also seem to have a little breeding spot because they wont let any of my fish near this one log!



I will try to get pictures or a video!


thank you
 
roughly around 4 inches or so they should be able to breed
 
thank you


well if thats the fact i think i have a little breeding pair

:]
 
if you do breed them keep a divider at that size the male will outgrow the female
 
really?


ok ill try and get one

even at this size will they fight alot and also they are in a 210

but i als have a 55 if they need it
 
in a 210 with a few caves thay should have plenty of room to swim away and hide but watch them when thay get bigger you may need that 55 but in that size tank you should be fine and may not even need a divider if you can seperate them
