Good luck.

Is it east to distinguish male from female? Would it be possible they are from different areas... If that makes an issue.

Even clowns won't always bond. Can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, as the saying goes.

All of my experiences have varied fish to fish. All of them are different, just like humans. Some will be nasty, and some will be awesome. I would personally just try a different fish.

Acclamation box sounds like a good move. You could also try removing the aggressor for a while. Add the other one to the display for a while so it can establish some territory, and then try the aggressive one in the acclimation box.
