My big oscar has calmed down during the day. he just chases the other red tiger oscar sometimes but i think it is because my albino tirger oscar is a female and the 2 red tiger oscars are male. Will this help when breeding later???? like competion for a female or will it cause even more agresstion??? and i have noticed when i come in after liveing my lights off for a few hours after dark and turn on a hall light so i can see what he is doing w/o disturbing them and he just opens his mputh half way and chases the other fish. Is this normal???
 
yes that's normal behavior, and if you are interested in the welfare of the victim, you should separate the aggressor from the victim.
