I want to try and breed this Trimac im getting with my jaguar. The male trimac is about 10-12" and my female jag is about 5-6". Any tips of ideas about how i can pair them up and get them to breed?
 
The Trimac jaguar hybrids i saw looked nice. not that much color though. When breeding hybrids you have to be willing to cull a lot of the fry and only keep the best looking.
 
I have no experience breeding hybrids lol. I really want to and have been researching how to for a long time so I will help you out as best as I can.

Put an egg crate divider in the middle of the tank and cut a hole large enough for only the female to fit through. Put a large pot, plate, or slate for them to breed on in the males side of the tank. Let them settle for about a week. Then do a large water change and bump up the temp.

I would wait for someone with more experience chime in before you go out and attempt this :)
 
when you use the divider cut the whole for the female but put the slate on the females side of the tank as close to the divider as you can get it so when she lays the male can still fertilize them. always keep up on water changes and keep your temp between 81-86 degrees.
