	Pairing Pike Cichlids
Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004	I was recently given four 2-spot pike cichlids. They are about 4-5 inches long. Two of them got picked on and were removed. The remaining two seem to have paired up and are sharing a cave. Is that normal? Anyone have experience in pairing and breeding them? I thought the alpha fish would chase the other three out of the tank, not set up house with one.
