Contrary to what everyone has said I wouldn't do it. A fahaka at 2" is going to be pretty unsure of itself and will probably get stressed from the exodons flying around constantly. I don't know that they would nip him but definately stress. A fish store around me had someone drop off 10 random african cichlids from 3-4" and they let me have them free I was planning on adding them to a 125 that had only a 8" fahaka thinking if one of them got taken down by him once in a while it would be ok. They stressed him out to the point he would not eat and he was hand feeding from me before I added them. Just my two

well i guess the sarcasim in what i wrote was not as apparent as i intended it to be...Of course I think it's a bad idea...but as for the stress done to the fahaka, i would say you either had a wimpy fahaka or it got so use to being by itself that the cichlids bothered him...When i was ignorant in the past, i had an 8'' ornate bichir and a 11'' florida gar with a 4'' fahaka...That 4'' fahaka destroyed both of them two to the point where i could barely trade them in...Fahaka's will only be killed by their owner, never by another fish.
