Bluethroat Trigger Question

[schooncw]

I have a male Bluethroat Trigger in my mixed 120 and he is a model citizen! I am considering adding a female and am wondering how they will interact-if at all. I am going to add another "peaceful" trigger and am trying to decide whether to go with a "blander" female Bluethroat, of something entirely different, such as a crosshatch or niger.
Should my male react positively to a female and should they bond and hang together? I know every fish has an individual personality and if there is a good chance that adding a female would be appreciated by my male and they will interact well, I am inclined to go this way.
Thanks.

I bonded a pair in qt and they resided in a 210 fowlr, the husband committed suicide by jumping. I gave the female a 2nd husband and they hang, but more as best friends rather than husband and wife. They spend alot of time together so for that it worked, at the worse they'll just not hang that much.

Be careful though, until they are between 4-4.5" you can not 100% sex the female. It could still be an immature male and all havoc will break loose when he matures in your tank.

Thanks for the reply and I am dripping in a nice female as we speak. I have screen covers on my tank!
