I have a group of four 264's and I want to look at breeding them. Two questions.... what size to they attain sexual maturity and is four enough to have a fair chance of a pair developing. At the moment they are all in the range of 80-100cm SL.

I have experienced spawns with pairs between 4-6 inches (10-15cm) I also had difficulty with one male who killed three smaller males, leaving a female alive. This was five L-264 in a 55gal tank, admittedly a bit crowded. The footprint of the tank was 12"X48" (30cm X 120cm) Even with only the two fish, they have taken up residence at opposite ends of the tank.
