With most plec's you can bet on 2 thirds of there total length being a mature fish (given that the fish was grown naturally), also from what i recall they are quite aggressive so a tank would need to compensate for the fish's size, aggression and territory, and plenty of wood. HTH

Lots of wood, lots of flow, nice clean water, lots of food and some wooden caves, so long as you have a mature pair, it shouldn't be a massive challenge to get them breeding
