Well, just because it's more likely for a pair to fight, it doesn't mean they ever will. I know of some pairs living in very tight quarters with a single wheel and getting along just fine. Depends on individuals and their dynamics. Sometimes they'll fight even in the best of conditions. It's just if you want to have them stay together longer, it will probably help to go with the safe plan and remove some of the possible culprits.

For example, when I first put in 2 wheels into my 3-robo set up, there was a bit of a continuous squabble in a couple days in the wheel area. As soon as I added the third wheel, everything smoothed out immediately. Not that they almost ever used that third wheel, but just its presence was calming enough, I guess.
