Syacy, are you sure that they are male and female ?  Go to

here you can see good pictures of the difference.

I am betting that they are either both male or both female and that is the reason for fighting.

If they are a pair then the male is very aggressive and needs to be nurtured.  If they are both the same sex you need to give one away and get a mate for the other or neuter it.
