Just out of curiousity, what size do managunese start showing signs of breeding? Does anyone have a link to a descent breeding report for these guys?
I have four right now between 3-5 inches in a 75 gallon tank. and two have staked a claim to one corner and are defending it fiercly.

I have two breeding pairs over the years and both showed signs of pairing off at about 4".
I've heard of jags that has bred successfully at 3" but the normal size for them to start thinking of breeding is probably around 4" just like bayoupr said. My pair bred for the first time when the male was 5.5" and the female 4", but they paired off at around 3.5-4.5".
Here is a short little article about breeding jags.
