Default Pairing Blue Throat triggerfish

Just thought I would throw my experience thus far on pairing up an existing female trigger with a male. I had read on reefcentral on quite a few posts that it was fairly simple to get a male and female to pair up, just add whatever you don't have. I added a male on Saturday afternoon that was larger than my female that I had had in the system for about 1.5 years. The male was larger than the female.
It has not gone so well. I ended up removing the female today as she would not quit picking on the male, even when he went into a cave in the corner of the tank. She chased him out of the hole and around the tank. I caught her using a net in about 30 seconds as she was so focused on the male. She is in my quarantine tank now where she will stay for at least a week when I will try to re-add her to the system. I really don't want to re-aquascape the system as it is set up exactly how I like it, but if it doesn't work after a week, I may have no choice.
