5"-6" Male I was trying to breed this guy with a 13"-14" female but they do not seem interested in each other at all.

The larger female can fit that guy into her mouth. I found that out 5 seconds after i placed them in an undivided tank.

He might be a bot too young for her! :) Gorgeous male though!
