Default Does aggressiveness and competition push reproduction?


Then yes it's possible the extra competition is triggering spawning.
It would definitely strengthen ties within the yellow colony
They may also be getting more food or water changes as well?

This isn't the first round, they've been doing it ever since they hit
the water.... even moreso when the jack dempsey was introduced, which
is why I ask the question...

It's genetically impossible for the yellow labs to successfully breed
with
jack dempseys. Maybe you are observing them displaying (which is a
visual
form of aggression).

I know they 'couldn't' even if they 'could' and I wasn't asking if they
'could' just observing that ever since the JD was introduced, I'll have
2 and sometimes 3 mouths full of little eyes staring back... maybe
I'll get some pictures of the tank someday.... I haven't done pictures
in so long, I think I forgot where my camera is...
