This is one of those situations where only you can decide what the best thing to do is. It doesn't sound like a dire situation at the moment, in fact, it sounds quite normal . If injuries are being caused on a regular basis and the fighting just seems to be getting worse then you may have to think about splitting them up. But monitor the situation like you would if you had cats or dogs and it should become clear what you need to do
I may not always be right, but I am always the boss
If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

iv decided to keep them together hey.
i think part of the problem is that the tank they are in is only 60gal.
with one plant and not much in the way of hiding places and so on.
so on saturday when the 5x2x2 125gal shows up and i put in the mangrove roots iv been saving and give them sum room and places to chill out they should come right...well i hope so anyways.lol

I wouldnt do anything hasty, see how then get on in the bigger tank but if one is getting seriously injured or is miserable and hiding all the time then seperation is the only answer
