i remember thousand island being expensive and them having nothing unless you like coral. so why arent you keeping females? you can always let them breed and let the fry fend for themselves.
Jay they are still relatively expensive, $2-$4 more on the average than other lfs's, but the current stock is also better quality than most other places I've been to. I've actually had 2 of my "males" hold recently and as soon as I removed them the aggression subsided, I still have a female(now that I know it's a she) cobalt blue who constantly goes back and forth with a red zebra, will probably trade her for an acei tomorrow, to further try to kill the homicidal tendencies in these fish. Besides I'm not the one with a 150gal tank to have all these fry surviving
