I would be worried about water quality...your oscar looks like it is gasping.

the water i in perfict condition and this is a temp tank....i have 280gph on it now, yes the stock is heavy but it is temp and the water is good...

seems to be normal bichir behavior.

The tank looks dirty, maybe this is right after feeding or w/c, how big is the tank, i didnt get a good glance at the anal fins but looks male+female, if the tank is small they could be fighting over territory.

sadly they are in a 20gal TEMP, normaly they are in a 55gal, but they wouldn't leave my new rays alone, so i had to move them...they never did this this much that is why i posted...the tank just had a wc that is why it looks like that, plus there is super soft/fine sand in the tank that stirs easy...once the rays get fully aclimated i will try to put them back in, or if i find a new tank before then they will go in that one...as for the fins one is slender and pointed the other is thicker and rounded

i missed the oscar part...it just stuffed its face and it always does that after it eats...

I would surmise they are very unhappy about the sudden loss of their big tank and so squabbling over territiory. Does not look vicious or anything though.
