I live in Holley NY
I have 2 albino tiger oscars both about 13 in. Both seem to be acting rather strangely. They get right up next to each other....vibrate their bodys then charge at eachother inflicting no harm to the other....im confused is to what they are doing...im not familiar with this "activity" any advice?
 
It is either a dominance ritual or a mating ritual. Either or. It should settle down.
 
sorry i took so long to reply. my computer at home doesn't like me.... they are in a 55 gallon tank i have tried to make places for them to hide from eachother but they just destroy them and didn't use them..

How big a hiding place can you provide a 13inch Oscar in a 55g tank????

Your tank is only a couple inches wider than the Oscars are long!!!
