Hi all,

Have these fish been bred in aquarium? New to this fish but not pike cichlids in general. I have a 10" male and female that at first hated each other but now are practically joined at hip (if fish had hips!). I've seen this before with lenticulata and marmorata and am not necessarily considering this a pair behavior but it did raise the question if this popular, expensive and rare pike has been bred.
 
pretty sure they have. On the pike cichlid facebook group I think there was one or two reports this year.
 
I believe they have been bred along with marmorata and acutirostris. The acutirostris eggs never hatched. I need my pair of cincta several times but eggs never hatched.

I've bred spangled pikes but nothing else. I have a male/female Atabapo and am looking for some ideas on breeding. They hang out together constantly.
