Fighting!

Territorial Issues, HELP! :(

someone please help me! i recently got my second parrot fish. He'spretty agressive, and bosses my original smaller parrot around. He demands the hiding spot, and pushes my poor smaller parrot into a corner. Ive put another hiding spot into the tank, but none of them seem to want it as much as the original. My littiler fish is always in the corner now, when he used to be hyper and interactive. someone help me and tell me what i need to do to get them to leave eachother alone!

Blood Parrot Agression

I have two blood parrots of similar size.  One in a 20 gallon that I have had since July, another slightly smaller juvenile that I have had since October who is living in my 55 gallon community tank.  I finally got around to putting my older BP into the 55 gallon tank only to find constant fighting. From the moment the bps saw each other through the plastic bag, they started attacking each other. I was changing the water and moving around all the plants and other decor around prior to releasing the older one into the tank.

aggression

New Owner of Parrot Fish - Fighting Issues

Hi, I bought two parrot cichild fish. One is 1 1/2" approx and the second one is hearth face and is about 2 1/2" long. I was told to start with just a couple and add more fish within a month. However, I got a present (pretty surprised about it) which was one more parrot fish 1 1/2" approx a couple of days ago. I have 55 gallon tank and I had the water tested already and everything is perfect.
