A second Yellow watchman Goby?

Hi all,
Awhile back I noticed my yellow watchman goby turn from bright yellow to whitish tan in color.I found out this was due to a sex change from male to female.
I read somewhere that you should not introduce a second YWB unless it is a mated pair.
Would it be an unwise decision to add a second to see if they will pair up?Or will they fight for territories.
Thanks...
 
Mine nearly burst a blood vessel when I put a mirror beside the tank: he's male, and I've rarely seen such a show from Siamese fighting fish. This makes me just a little nervous about trying to put another of his kind in there.
 
If you must try it, use a fish trap. Put the male in the trap and lower it in and let it stay. If they fight through the plastic, don't open the hatch.

Did you choose a larger or smaller male? Which is dominant - male or female?

How long did you have him before he became a her?
the original,I'd say less than a week.
The female seams nastier than the male but they get along(Just like real life huh).the male that was introduced recently appears to be fading in color but is still yellowish in color.He might be leaning toward an alternative lifestyle.:eek1:
Don't think they will mate but who knows.
Anyone else have any pictures of there YWG's
