Can you house a pair all year round so to speak?

Not sure what you mean there Jules.
I don't separate them like one would with the common fighters. The albimarginata get on fine together. Like chocolate gourami; they are mouth brooders and don't eat their children. The only time I have seen an altercation was between two males over a female. Even then it was just "She is mine, you stay on your side of the aquarium".
They form colonies too, unless one includes some rasboras or similar to eat the Betta fry.
The photos above were from my original pair's two foot aquarium. The first photo of the male is one of the first batch of fry grown up. The second photo includes a second or third batch of fry half grown up.
The photo below is from today. To get them all together I teased them with some mozzies. They all live together happily in an old four foot tank.
