Hi, I have allways kept my P.v-nigra subspecies in pairs with no agression, but unfortunately I do not think that the female that you have got is P.vn.v-nigra. The stripe that you say it have is typical for P.vn.comorograndensis that have been imported in lots lately.On P.vn.v-nigra the green goes directly over to lemon-yeloow without the grey/brown stripe.
