WHY IS MY OSCAR FIGHTING ?

WHY IS MY OSCAR FIGHTING ?
I HAVE HAD MY 2 OSCARS FOR 2 MONTHS NOW IN A 75 GAL TANK AND TODAY I SEE MY TIGER OSCAR FIGHTING MY ALBINO CONSTANTLY AND THEN I SEE HER LAYING AT THE BOTTOM SOMETIMES ON HER SIDE THEN THE TIGER OSCAR CHASES IT AROUND WHATS IS GOING ON WIT THEM 2 ?
Oscars are large, territorial, and rather agressive fish.

If you have 2 males they simply WILL NOT live together in a 75gal tank. A pair or 2 females might be OK.

If they are fighting, you need to seperate them.

They sometimes become very territorial. Try moving the tank decorations around every once and a while so they will "lose" their territory. Hope I helped.
You probably have two males and in any cichlid society or animal for the sake of my point will compete for dominance.
