HELLO, I HAD THREE TINFOIL BARBS IN A 75 GALLON TANK. TWO OF THEM KEPT ON PICKING ON ONE SO I GAVE HIM AWAY AND NOW THE TWO LEFT ARE BEATING EACH OTHER UP. I KNOW THEY ARE BEST IN SCHOOLS, BUT I JUST SEPARATED THE TWO. THEY LIVE WITH 2 BALA SHARKS AND A PLECO. IS IT BETTER TO JUST FIND THEM A NEW HOME, OR CAN I KEEP A TINFOIL BARB ALONE? THEY ARE SO MUCH MORE PEACEFUL RIGHT NOW.....

ok, the reason that you barbs are becoming aggresive to eachother is as you have guessed
because they are in too small a group.
instead of splitting one from the other two, you should've added more.
the choice is yours,
keep one one his own and risk him becomming a manic killer
make your school upto at least 5
or get rid of the last 2.
personally I'd get rid as a 75g tank is not big enough for adult tinfoils in a group they need to be in.
FYI; typing in capitols is considered shouting
and members may take offense to being shouted at.
