Should my large Electric Blue Jack Dempsey be showing some breeding interest in the other Jack Dempseys?

I have a 5" Electric Blue in an established set up and I have introduced some smaller standard Jack Dempseys 3" long.

The smaller fish are showing some "courting" activity like displaying to each other, side by side showing, jaw-locking , chasing etc.

Its a little difficult to see which ones are male or female because of them being so young but if they are showing signs of this activity should the larger Electric Blue be showing interest in them to breed?

    I have 2 Adult Severim in a 300 gallon tank when i was given the 2 they were male and female but not a pair .

    I have had Angel fish that do not pair up as well .So your jack Dempsey may not pair up it happens .
