Replacing one in a pair of CBS?

[PranK]

Hi Guys,

I had a mated pair of CBS for many years. Maybe as long as 7 or 8 years.

Unfortunately not long ago, one of them died and now I have only a single CBS in my tank.

What I'm wondering is if I can introduce a 2nd to the tank in a hope to get them to pair. From what I've read this wont work and they'll likely end up trying to kill each other.

I know I'm applying human thinking to an invert, but the poor bugger looks lonely!

Thanks in advance.

You could try but your probably right in thinking it wont work out...
