If you have two males, they will need some pretty good hiding spaces, as they are territorial. It would be better to have one male and a couple of females, as the male will tollerate females better than males.

But you should be fine if you have plenty of spaces for both to hide away from each other (i.e. not just ONE big bunch of driftwood in one corner of the tank, as they both will like that end of the tank then).
