How big is the tank?? RDs (and FHs) can be super territorial and aggressive, regardless of sex. I have seen some that just can't live with any tankmates at all, even in a huge tank. I've seen others that are more accepting. You may end up having to separate them.

Thats a 75 gallon. It won't work forever. I think breeding red devils are usually aggressive to each other, and sometimes one gets killed. If you do get a male, make sure you have a divider. The flowerhorn will have to go if you want to breed the RDs.
You will need to get rid of the female you don't want, along with the flowerhorn, unless you don't mind having hybrid fry. Then try to get a male RD. The best way to get a pair is probably to get half a dozen and grow them all out together, but you probably don't want to do that.
