Actually, it's not going to stress them like you would think.
It's actually good exercise for them.
They quickly become bored with seeing the same guy next door.
I do agree that... why not get the other it's own tank too. I would, however,
place them next to, or with in view of each other.
I have a couple males that get depressed without a flare buddy next to them.
It's a good thing. = )
Let your boys flare their little fins off.
