How Aggressive Are Breeding Severums?

[fishnovice]

How aggressive are sevs when breeding? My much missed Ginger, the red sev who sadly died unexpectedly last month, was a softy and only chased other fish when really provoked.I really miss him. I've been offered a lovely breeding pair of golden severums for £25 who have been causing havoc in a smalish tank. Owner says they are very aggressive esp the female who is quite nasty towards all tankmates. He has a Feather Fin Synodontis and it's been badly beaten by the female sev(scratches, scras and nipped fins). Synodontis seem to be public enemy number one to this breeding pair.
Very tempted to get them as I would love to watch breeding behaviour but worried about my female convict, L001 plec and 2 synos who will have to share with them as I have no spare tanks if it goes wrong. One syno is a hybrid upsidedown cat who spends 80% of his life swimming upsidedownand is quite gentle. The other is a much more assertive hybrid feather fin.

Personally I wouldn't, although the green severum is said to be more aggressive than the gold the owners have said how aggressive they are. Would you really risk your others fish?
