My fish decided he didn't like my new plants and did some re-scaping. So very helpful

Help! After a couple months of subtle chasing my EBA stood up hardcore against its fellow EBA tankmate.. Is this pure aggression or can the lip locking ever be a mating behaviour?
Sorry for the "kill the cameraman" footage.. I freaked out, stopped filming and and separated them to prevent any injury.
Should i keep them separated?
Sigh my blood parrot and rainbows watching them as if it was a school yard brawl...

Yesterday evening i lliterally was admiring how my fish were doing well and thriving, but i checked the thermometer and was shocked to see it was up to 94 from the normal 81. After confirming with 2 other thermometers, i immediately looked at the 2 heaters. It seems like one of them was bumped somehow and went up to a super high level. Its possible my dog stepped on it somehow, i was stupid enough to leave the temp control thingy on the ground next to the tank :(
I immediately put it to regular and put in a water change of approximately 10% with lukewarm water.
The tank returned to regular temp when i checked this AM.
My 60 gal is just a grow out tank and i will be getting a bigger one when they grow out.
I have:
2 Juvenile blood parrots -2.5 inches
1 bala shark about 5", (i got him when he was already with a single fish, he seems happy swimming with the other fishies, dont come at me please)
2 electric blue acaras, one is 1" and other is 2"
1 3.5ish super red bristol pleco.
And a variety of plants.
Right now everyone is looking okay except one of the BPs he has paled and is hiding although i did see him eat. Am i going to lose him??
Tank is (was??) cycled with all levels being appropriate.
I need advice. Is it possible i killed the good bacteria?? Is the cycle ruined???
Am i going to lose my fish(es)?
Im heartbroken and feeling guilty this somehow happened.
