First off, are the 4 of reproductive age yet? If not, you'll just have to wait to see. When they are older and in a smaller tank, you'll see two hanging close to each other and, eventually, each of the other two turning more black (stress colors) and hanging out in the corners. You might also see some nipping or chasing. As soon as you see two hanging out together, remove the others.
Good luck! Right now I have five males (in separate tanks) and one female. But, I found a few captive-bred ones that are coming in next week so I can try to pair my extras. Fortunately, I have a certain male (he's carried eggs) that I can use to sex the newcomers when they are old enough.

Well it didnt take long to find my pair....They pretty much paired up and put the other 2 into corners and just wouldnt let them out....I was able to get one out but the other has died stuffed inside the rocks...Im not able to get him out at all...Im wondering if it is going to be a problem if he stays there...Still trying to get him out but no promises....

If you've had them over a year in a 28 gal. tank and they haven't killed each other then they are likely a pair. Feed 'em a lot.
Good luck!

Thanks Andy. I will keep up with the heavy feeding. They are big and fat but I have not ever noticed any babies. I had a different pair about 10 years ago that had several brews but I did not take the time to try and grow them out.
Here is a bad picture of my current "pair"

It may be that you have two females. I hope not though. Good luck!
