I know FH are agressive fish but does anyone think 2 females can ever coexist

My older Female fader is 1 year old about 5 inches (tough) currently in 125 with 4 parrots JD and Midas but the Midas is leaving

The second female is in a 10 gal grow out and is about 2 inches she's much more timid then the bigger one so do you guys think it'll survive when i put it in at around 4 inches
I'm afraid that the females will duel to the death because when she was first introduced in the community she was picked on then beat everyone up even though she was smaller (the Midas is 9 inches but she's being given away, the JD is 7 inches and 4 parrots at 5 inches each) but her agressive nature died down and now it's just some aggression during feeding

I'm surprised you were able to do a female flower horn with anything. Mine tries to murder everything through the divider, and she tries to murder me every time I do a water change.
 
May work. I have 2 in a community tank with con, BP, and Oscar.

Well the first one was housed with a baby silver arowana then moved into a community cichlid tank so it's always had tankmates that it was weaker than I guess
 
Here are two females I used to have that coexisted peacefully. They even spawned. That's right...two females and never once nipped at each other. Rare but they can share the same space. You'll have better luck having them in a community tank with others to distract the aggression.

Nice fish. Are those faders? And will my female look like that when it's bigger? It's in a community rn the bigger one with parrots and other big cichlids
