Problems with my Oscar & Green terror HELP

[doctheknock]

:sad: Ok guys this is my first time on this site so bear with me, I recently set up my very first aquarium n all that good stuff. i have 2 fish. before i left to mexico last month i left my brother with my fish so that he could care for them.. Ever since i came back both fish have been acting aggresive and im haveing a hard time finding out why... i tried changin around the shells and plants in the tank but they are still doing their fighting rituals. My oscar is starting to scar up on the sides and im thinking about seperating them... i dont know why they are now fighting. someone please enlighten me please

What size tank are these guys in? I don't know a lot about oscars or green terrors but I do know they need a very large tank (I think I read somewhere like at least 90g) and that even then they can become extremely agressive.

yeah it sounds like you should either A.) put them in a bigger tank or B.) go ahead and seperate them. But I don't own any cichlids yet. I'm still learning about them.

Green terrors are a lot more agressive than oscars and unless they have enough room, the green terror will try to kick the oscar out and seeing how that won't happen the oscar may end up getting killed, so either a bigger tank or seperate them.
