Posted Oscars fighting...Badly

Hi today my two 6 inch oscars had a massive fight, mouth locking bashing into decor, the only way i could stop them was by dropping some mealworms in for them to eat.

The black oscar has a gash under the eye, and on it's head, some sores on it's face and scales missing. The albino oscar is fine but hides a lot in one of the ornaments. The black oscar has become agressive to the silver dollars and red hook that it lives with, should i move it into my 100 gallon with the parrot's a 10.5" oscar and a few small barbs? I will transfer the barbs to the rio 300, and just have silverdollars and filament barbs. As tomorrow i;m swapping two big plecs for 3 small silver dollars to make the shoal bigger.

Also could i move both oscars across as in a tank that is much bigger and it will be a new territory. Thanks

even if u move oscars they will still fight to establish territory,if u do move oscar into another tank with existing oscar make sure u move the decor round to establish new territorys.
