New Betta Soriority,need Help!

[Killer Smile]

Okay so after cycling and all that,i bought the new females today and put them all in at the same time,there are 6 females in a moderatly decorated 10 gal tank,i say decorated since im using fake plants,not real ones,now,the other 4 seem like they dont care,they're quite okay and seem to be getting along,but there are the other 2,who just wont stop at each other,its only been around 30 mins since they started fighting (an hour and a half since i put them in),i dont know what to do,should i remove them? seperate one? i cant tell which is the attacker as they both seem to just keep going at each other,im confused,is this part of establishing their pecking order or did i get over aggressive females? i've seen them bite each other,idk how to call it,but its like they're biting each other mouth to mouth and trying to throw around the other,i've seperated them when they've done this,but they keep doing it again,help please!

Not sure; you could try and bag them and leave them next to each other so they can see each other.

Can you get a photo of them just to make sure they are both females?

they stopped fighting already,i have a pretty strong feeling they really are females,they're all the same size and look and came from the same store during the same shipment,only difference is the colors,i think i've found that one of the 2 fighting yesterday seems to be the most dominant of all the 6,the one who lost now has those horizontal stripes on her yet all seem to be okay,i think they sorted things out on their own,i've also found the seemingly weakest one of the 6 also has these stripes,the others are fine now tho the suppossed queen (i guess thats how you call it) ate almost all the food i put in it right now,this is my first soriority so im not sure if thats really how their pecking order goes but it looked so violent to me yesterday,locking each other mouth to mouth and sort of trying to wrestle with each other,i had to manually stop them by putting the fish net in between them,they repeated this for around 3 times after and i had to stop them myself again everytime,but stopped after that,is that normal?

I am not sure.

My betta sorority are very peaceful and I've never seen fighting. However some people do experience fighting; I guess ultimately the thing to do is leave it alone, and see how it's going in a few weeks as it'll take that long to establish who goes where.
