Note that the Acestrorhynchus is a "pike" eater fish, not a piranha. He could end eating all your africans, but u said he got beaten by the africans? How big are these africans? u said 5 inches?... wierd

I've found that pretty much all predators require a flight response by the target animal, if the target animal is to be pursued. If the target animal does not frantically flee, the predator does not consider the target to be prey.

Cichlids are not animals that mindlessly flee in terror, therefore the pike can't consider them food. The cichlids are territorial by nature, attacking other fish that come within their territory. Pikes are only aggressive towards prey, and will not defend themselves against attackers.
