got 2 firemouths in a tank with an Oscar and a parrot fish, they're all juveniles and the tanks only been set up a couple of weeks. Noticed the last couple of days one of the firemouths is bullying the other, the bully is out happily with oscar and polly all the time, but the other one is hiding most of the time and whne he comes out the other's chasing him back in again. They're both males, is it a bad idea to just keep 2 males? Or as it's a new tank are they just establishing territories? Obviously with these fish there's always going to be some agression and it's not all the time, just want to nip it in the bud before anyone gets hurt! Any suggestions what it could be or what I should do?
