My red texas is very aggressive, I try dividing the TX and mammon and put them together once a day, so I can watch incase he start biting her. Is it normal for him to bite her? They swim around doing the dance together but he'll start to bite her. Need advice pls

I try moving two of my other fish to leave the 55g tank for the TX and mammon and it seems to do the work. I don't see no biting nomore, just chasing each other and dancing
 
Cichlids have complex rituals where "they" decides if they are a compatible pair.
Just because they are a male and female, doesn't mean they are compatible, or both ready to spawn at the same time, just because you want them to.

Observe. Let them care for the eggs. If the eggs are infertile they'll turn white and sometimes the mother will eat these eggs.

one of my buddy advice that I should separate the parents, when I have wiggler.
 
Not necessarily. If this is their first time breeding together I'd leave them with the fries and let them care for it. Separation is only needed if one of the parents are too overly aggressive toward the other one due to lack of interest for the fries which I've never seen but heard stories about.
