Hi I got two blood red parrot chiclids the day before yesterday they are very small so I'm keeping them in a 2 feet tank but I saw that one is always staying at the top right corner near the heater and one is dominating the another they don't stop fighting I also added some hiding spots but still they are fighting what should I do I also removed green terror from their tank as I thought green terror are scaring them but still there behaviour is same pls someone tell how to fix it. As you can clearly see in the photo

Put a divider in the tank to keep them separated so the aggressor doesn't kill or stress the other to death. As soon as you can move them to a bigger tank

With many types of fish that can be aggressive (though I don't keep parrots):

One or many, never two.

Your tank is too small for blood parrots, that’s why they’re fighting. Try upgrading to a bigger tank (at least 3–4 feet) and add more hiding spots. If the aggression doesn’t stop, you may need to separate them.

Given that information the inevitable conclusion is that you should keep something suitable to the kind of environment you can provide.

About the best advice possible for the situation described was given in the previous responses. Anything different will not be good advice.

tank too small, straight up. Parrots get big, territorial and chunky

assuming they will all get along. aquascaping and sight breaks. Parrots LOVE caves.

parrots can be anywhere from 6 to 10 inches at maturity. And thick.
