I would introduce more females and let him pick the one he likes and take the others back once he picked his mate and spawns. I believe you will have better success with this then just putting two in and hoping they work.
If the two are not bonding...dithers isn't really going to help them bond. The advise that I gave above is probably your best bet in trying to get a pair of convicts and they are probably just the same price that you were going to pay for dithers. Get about 2-3 more females and i'm sure he will bond with one of them.
Go buy say 3 female convicts and put them all in, not only will he spread the aggression between the 3 new ones, but when he does form a pair bond with one you can remove the others.
if you put target fish in, giant danios, boesmani rainbows or tiger barbs have worked for me in the past, danios and rainbows are really fast, whereas the tiger barbs are quick but they also can take a beating if they get caught cause they are quite aggressive towards eachother.
