This has been happening for about a month. My 2 albinos stays on the right side of the tank and my tiger on the left. The albinos remove all gravel from their side and will lip lock occasion but there is no visible damage. They won't let the tiger on that side. I don't think it has to do with breeding. Should I set up my 55 gallon remove one and see what happens and which one?

well they do say 2's company, 3's a crowd. And I think this does ring true in some circumstances. How big is your tank at the moment? Since I've been keeping four Oscars in a 300 gallon tank I can now will see that the extra space can make a lot of difference when you are keeping semi-aggressive fish. how old are the albino Oscars. It could well be that they have paired off and don't want another Oscar around.

If you are experiencing aggression problems, then it probably would be best to remove the victim rather than one of the two other Oscars.

They are about a year old in september - I will take some photos and post. The thing is there are no gashes or missing scales not even bit up fins they are just segregated on their sides and don't swim together unless its dinner time and chase eachother off. The tiger is the largest and stays on his side but when the albinos chase him off he sometimes turns around and lip locks. He goes over to look at the bottom of the tank where they dug but I guess he see's reflections and is just curious he doesn't get to look on for too long! They all use to swim together and be fine but not anymore I will post the new pics ASAP!
