Nope, it means they are socially stratifying, and you should hope one male doesn't socially stratify a gaping hole in the other male.

I thought your first male Ackie was not doing too well, not eating, skinny etc???

Why would you put two males in with one female, knowing the first male is already stressed and possibly sick?

I think you should remove your first male.
