o's are fighting

[PMK]

I have 2 large oscars in my 240 (plus many smaller fish) and they just cant seem to get along they have enough room to escape and hide but they literally hunt each other out i just dont get it. After i seperated them and put one in a hospital tank then he healed i threw him back in and within 5 seconds the other Oscar was one him from the other side of the 240. I could understand if it was like a 75 but they grew up together from 1 inchers and even spawned fry like 9 months ago with no problems ever. Could there ever be a way of them sharing a tank or is that pretty much not going to happen?

id rearrange the tank, making it new to the both of them, I do this with some of my smaller tanks, and it seems to work. Supposedly introducing fish at night or dark helps as well.

this all actually started after i rearranged the tank then i had to seperate them I may try it again but who knows what would happen this time

I would suggest rearranging the tank again making more hiding spots. I had that happen with my two o's and eventually I had to get rid of them. They were 13 inch beauties and I hated to get rid of them but they were killing each other because they were both female. What sex are yours? You might have to get rid of one if they can't get along.

I may try to rearrange the tank again to see if it helps.

There are male and female. Id hate to get rid of them i was thinking if worse came to worse id pull the 75 out of the garage and leave one in there with my clown loaches.
