I have a single Borbonius in my tank currently for about 2 years. It's my wife's favorite fish so she's pressuring me to add more. This is in 120g standard and I have not too many fish so I can fit another 1 or 2.

Is it ok to add new ones and they won't fight? I acquired mine quite small and she's still not full size, I can get larger ones from my LFS. I assume it's better to add larger to the smaller one I have established? Or is it a no go? Anyone with experience?

Maybe a male and some females?
They are generally peaceful but can become aggressive towards conspecifics (members of the same species) if kept in small groups. To mitigate aggression, keeping them in larger groups or as a single male with several females is recommended.
