Need more details Tank size would be a huge factor.

75 gal,tank just put a new O in the tank he is about 5-6 inches,the original O is like 4-5 inches and is the aggressor.

Let them settle their differences, and eventually get them a larger tank. I've had oscars scuffle for a few days before they chilled.

Just let them fight it out

cichlids fight... thats just what they do

Usually with cichlids it helps to have a small group of fish, say 5 or 6 instead of just a couple. This allows the fish to establish a pecking order instead of just have one fish be the boss of the other.

However, in your case, it would probably best to let the fish figure it out on their own as your tank is already overstocked.

I wouldn't say that it's overstocked at the moment, but It will be. There is enough room for the both of them for a few months (assuming that's all that's in there.)

Do a big water change and move everything around.....
