You can separate them!
Leopard geckos are solitary reptiles, and should not be housed together. They will bully each other.
Are you sure they're both females? You may have males, which will fight till the death, at times.

The only way to stop them is to separate them into their own tanks. This is a common problem with reptiles that are housed together.

1. food fights
2. a male in the tank
