so as some of you know i scored a couple tems from a LFS for super cheap ! ive noticed they like to bump into one another, and one takes his mouth/nose and pushes it into the other's side... and once in awhile they swim after someone in the tank and like bump there nose/head into the other fish almost like there body checking someone lol but it doesnt happen very often at all once in a blue moon but i thought i would ask anyway just so i know for future refrence basically...
 
any bass can be aggressive it depends on the fish and it depends on the environment....how many do you have?
 
they're fighting because you only have two....I would recommend at least three to spread aggression, adding dithers helps also.
 
dithers are other fish to distract them from each other....like silver dollars or bala sharks or blood parrots.
 
I have a tem and a mono, they are both pretty chill but I do notice the tem or at least my tem is a tad more aggressive he like to pick on my smaller fish(leapord fish) he tries to pick on my day from time to time but the day gets him back and he's learning jot to mess with him lol

Ya there are a few other fish in the tank the one bumps his face into them once in a blue moon to ... Maybe that's him trying and showing that he is boss in the tank he also the more agressive eater as well
 
For sure and I'm sure if you get them on pellets they will be better, I'm trying to get mine on pellets but it hard so far none have eaten one, and as far as aggresive eating y mono is crazy dude, like most aggresive eating fish I have ever seen he will eat 7-10 feeders in less then 30 seconds the time it takes my tem to maybe get one if all of them aren't already eaten
