Answer
Hi Brenda,
I think I would separate your males. Sooner or later they will fight if they haven't tried to already when you were not around to see. Their behavior may be related to the stress of two males being in the same territory. That sounds like either a stress-behavior your fish are showing, or an avoidance behavior. There could be a water quality issue going on here as well and it wouldn't hurt to do a 50% water change just in case. Always making sure to treat the water with a water conditioner and insure the temp is equal to or just a bit warmer than your tank's temp.

Another thing is check the temperature, cooler temps will slow a betta down tremendously. Room temps are never a good thing for bettas and they thrive better at temps of 78-80F.

Best of luck and I hope all goes well!
