i have 3 pike cichlids (possibly orange pikes, but not certain) in my 185. i have had them for 5 months. about three months ago two appeared to pair off. they spend all day swimming together, often brush up against one another, and stay away from other fish in the tank. when i purchased them they were 3" and looked identical. Now they are 6" and one of them has changed coloration (possibly to reflect different sex?).
what are the chances they are a pair? what can i do to get them to mate?
any help would be appreciated. will try and post picks, but they stay at the back of my tank.
