What's the size of the aquarium?

Solution is probably to separate them, either by giving one a new aquarium or by installing a divider. Depending on the size of your tank, dividers can be either purchased or made easily. --Mark

Sounds like two males.. I would seperate them.. Two male convicts is a bad deal in one tank...IF you know one is a female, then they are having a couple dispute and they could spawn, which means the OTHERS in the tank will be getting picked on soon..
