no i was sold two males when i was told they were male and female one male will dominate over the other and the weaker one will stop feeding. Only when i sold the healthy male did the weaker one eat and he has put on 500gs in 4 feeds as he lost abit of weight from it aswell

basically... NO

however... your viv is plenty big enough to be split in two, that way, you could keep both, without them fighting, and without any extra cost...
