That sucks that they're fighting. Is it really that bad? Can't give it a week and see if they settle?

If I had to chose I'd get rid of the rtc since it will outgrow the tank sooner
 
Do you have anything you could put in there for "territory"? Like a rock, cave or something? My RTC and Giraffe sometimes squabble, usually the Giraffes fault, but the RTC goes and sits on top of his cave and eventually everything is peaceful. Beautiful fish. The paroon is awesome. I have 4 ID's, not nearly that big, but about 7 inches at the largest.
 
Your RTC has very severe gill curl.

Add some territories to the tank.
