Robin, it can be VERY stressful for two males to be in constant view of each other. They release stress hormones (adrenaline most likely) when another male is in sight. I'm sure there are some males that do ok with each other in sight, but I can't imagine always having mine stressed like that.

I believe they do make bowls with a clear divider and an extra black divider so that you can let them flare for a bit each day, and then give them a rest.
