O my Texas cichlid has just started this shaking think and he slap his body on an off the sand bounces of rocks and just became the meanest little guy but then he swims right along against my Oscar like a couple is this some Kind of mating ?

It's territorial display. What are the other tank mates? How big are all of the fish?

So I've got a 12 inch Oscar 6inch red devil 5 inch jaguar 4 inch 4 inch bristle nose pleco and 1 inch flower horn baby

You won't every get fry from an Oscar and Texas. It might be telling the other fish to back off.

You could get fry from a Texas x Red Devil or Texas x Flowerhorn.

I didn't think the texas and Oscar would be possible but the red devil is a little bit smaller then the Texas would there be anyways to try to get them to breed and I'm sure that my red devil is male
