ok here it go's i have 2 oscars both 6andhalf to 7 inchs one tiger and one albino. Well Iv had the albino since he was a tiny thing and i just put the tiger in the tank like a month ago. The albino is extremly pissed off at the fact theres another fish in his tank. The albino is always starting the conflict he will swim over and open his mouth up big and push the other O into the gravel on the bottom or he will simpley just ram the tiger's side :popcorn: rather amusing but im concerned of whats going on here. Is this maybe the fishy way of dating lol being rough :naughty::ROFL:
 
Typical o behavior. Just tryig to show the other who's da boss. If the other fish isn't showing signs of stress or getting beat up, don't worry to much about it. Just keep on eye on it.
 
can do ! The tiger was a rescue he was in a tank full of pacu's and he was beat up. So i stole him for 9 dollars the size u see him hoping to give it a better home but my albino is a A!$ hole lol and not being nice lol
 
i have a smaller O that was acting like and *** toward another O about his size and i added a much larger O that had medium aggression. the first time the aggressive O tried to go after the larger one it put him in his place. was never worried about pickin at the other small one again. just had to sort out the peckin order. i now successfully have it in my pond in a very large community. hopefully yours will sort out the pecking order and leave the other one alone.
 
Yeah go with changeing the decor in the tank
 
my two are the same size exactly and there always with eachover 24/7 best friends. i think they might breed. but yeah thats just regular cichlid behaviour your experienceing.
also those plants wont last too long
