How can I introduce a male sev to my huge old female, without her killing him? She has killed every sev I have put in with her so far. She is over 10 years old.:(

Wow that is old, nice job. If she is that aggressive you may not be able to at all. I would add a divider and see how she reacts to another severum on the other side. If all goes well take out the divider for short amounts of time "supervised" and keep a close eye on them. Odds are good if you do this a few times and all goes well, you could remove the divider long term.

you wont be able to put anything. she is set in her ways. trade her in for a diffrent female and get a male at the same time

Not true, it's worth trying at least... :D If he has cared for the fish for 10 years something tells me just trading her in is probably not going to happen... It wouldn't for me at least.
 
She is with me to stay, getting rid of her is not an option. If she's set in her ways, so be it.

All I can say is wow! I couldn't part with some of my fish that I have only had for a couple of months. There is no way I could trade in a fish that I had taken care of for so long. Wheres the love?
