Good luck with breeding them. They can be rather rough with each other...it might look like they are fighting. My pair would lay eggs hours after a water change. Had to get rid of mine as they were really hard on the tank when they were mating, although they were in a 135g they were to big (14" and 12") and kept splitting the tank. Make sure you have a flat piece of slate or something flat that she can lay the eggs on, and once she has they are very protective of that area. Mine never managed to get farther then the hatching stage...mom would eat them. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
