I have seperated my blue acara and green terror because they are forever jaw locking with the blue acara now being bullied too much. Note one side of the pectoral fin on the green terror not straight maybe damaged in fighting or deformed not sure though.

BA and GT should not be kept together anyway, they are aggressive towards conspecifcs, i.e., towards similar looking fish . . . you're BA was bound to lose this battle eventually . . . only way it could have "worked" would have been if they were M/F and paired up

I don't see any significant damage to the BA in the picture, although the fin does look to be upturned somewhat . . . could be nothing
 
What i might do is put my gt back in my 180 gallon and put my ba in my new 65 gallon with 2 firemouths i have and maybe add a couple of jewels and a convict or salvini.

so, that would be the BA with the firemouths in a 65G? and the GT with jewels, convict or salvini in 180G?

I think that would work a lot better . . .
 
BA with firemouths and jewels and maybe salvini in 65 gallon and the GT with an oscar, 2 green horseface, 1 red horseface, 1 orange head tapojos 3 silver dollars and a featherfin fin in the 180 gallon.

Or i might just keep the GT as a wet pet in the 65 and the rest can stay in the 180 gallon.
 
nice lookin fish tho. I want a ba but for whatever reason...can't find one around me.
