Frontosa pair - buy or not?

It's a tough call, unless the pair have been raised together, then there is a small chance it may work out in a large tank with other tankmates for diversion. I have a pair raised in separate tanks, now approaching 6 inch. Last time I attempted to bring them together, and the larger female attacked the male viciously and I had to separate them. After removing the female and fed her lightly for months so the male can catch up in size, I will try again to to see if they will get along. But I am not optimistic about it.
Fronts are underrated for aggression. They are peaceful as juvies but as they approach maturity, they become less tolerant. This is why you always see Fronts kept in a colony, never in a single pair. My former big powerful male Front had systematically terminated half a dozen big Haps in a crowded tank over a period of months.

If you get this pair could you find more females of the same species to go with them. By that I mean could you get them all on the same day?
