dang, that sucks.. hope the others are doing well though

i'll be getting just one, maybe a female so i'm hoping there won't be any aggression towards any tankmates i put with her

Yeah it sucks. Dude. if the source ur getting them from has more than 1, u should get more. Try to breed them. Breeding the Emperors has always been a dream of mine. So if they breed you can dump a bunch of them in my Dad's pond. LOL!

My insight- The 2 Emps I had (which came from Trust) didn't show any aggression towards each other while they had smaller tankmates to hassle/eat but once I put in a divider and they no longer had others to beat on then the real aggression began. The dominant fish (same size but showed much better coloration) constantly attacked the other until I was forced to isolate them from each other. I decided I'd had enough and ended up selling both individually. I think your plan to get just one sounds good. Good luck.
