i have two male pits aged 2yrs and the other is 18 months both live together. they are generally well behaved but they frequently fight with each other. would getting the older pit fixed reduce the risk of the pair of them fighting with each other, as he seems to be more aggressive of the two.

They both need to be fixed. With 750,000 to 2.5 million pits being killed each year in shelters, there is no reason to keep them unaltered. Get them both fixed and take them to training classes.
And why have you asked this question 5 times???? Once would have worked just fine!

I doubt that even getting both of them fixed will stop the fighting. When people say they want to own 2 dogs it is ALWAYS recommended that they get a male and a female. 2 males or 2 females tend to act aggressively toward one another. While neutering both of them may reducing the incidents of fighting I doubt that it will make any significant difference.

You should have both of your dogs fixed. It will help reduce aggression in both dogs. Plus, it will make them better behaved and less likely to run away. And can you live with the thought of being responsible for a litter of stray puppies that gets put to sleep because they haven't a home? Neuter both dogs. It certainly can't hurt.

No, get them both fixed and muzzle them so they cannot do each other any serious damage while they sort out the pack dominance issues that they very likely have...;

NO! omg who told you this? Both of my dogs are fixed and they still bark and snarl at eachother. If this is the only reason that you are getting them fixed, don't bother and save your money for more important things for them. Like food and collars.

My suggestion is getting them both fixed, not just one. It isn't guaranteed to calm them down, but it will lower testosterone levels. If you fix just one, you may have more troubles with dominance later...

They should both be neutered. Since they are already aggressive, you certainly wouldn't want to breed them. They will be healthier and live longer, too, if you neuter them.

no, its probably temperament and a dominance issue.

I really don't think that will help at all.
