do you remember their names, if you do, its easy.

Ok, its easy anyway, just put them in the same cage and see what happens. If there old adults, I would keep an eye on them.

Seriously, just put them together and observe. All the other crap does not work. Either they get along or they don't.

Also most of the time they do get along. Then later something happens and one gets aggressive or not.

Most of the time they get along fairly well, and sometimes not. its just that simple.
