Fighting over food

[emilyanna]

Hi guys,
I don't know what to do about my boys. I've had them for 6 months now and they live very happily together.
Recently when its feeding time one will sit in the food bowl and fights with anyone who trys to get any food out. Is this a dominance thing? or should i think about seperating them for dinner?

Do they get a food bowl each? If not that may cut down on fights over food. I say cut down because they will still (but on a far lesser scale) fight if one thinks the other is getting something different etc.
