Why do you want a mated pair? Are you prepared to raise the fry when they start mating? Once they start mating the female will want to mate all the time. As soon as the poor male releases the fry the female already has another batch ready....lol. You'll have to somehow separate the male from the female to give him a break. If you don't do this, the poor male will starve to death.
I have a mated pair and they are my favorite fish. They are so bold and they are definitely the dominant fish in my tank, but they are too much work. That's why I have decided to sell them.
