Fighting Betta's

I've always loved fish, just never had the money to seriously invest in them or a place good enough to keep the cat away from them. But, now I've broken down and bought a couple of Betta's for me. And yes, I know they are fighting fish and yes I know they can't be together. But, the tank I bought is small and has a divider. Now they can share the water but not kill each other. There is a dark blue panel that prevents them from seeing each other. However, said panel has four slits at the bottom, apparently just right for eye to eye contact. I caught the two of them posturing and snapped this shot.
