Friends or Enemies?

My cats are very different from one another personality-wise, which has led to some difficulties. When Dejy came home there was some hissing, etc, even though we did go through the whole 10 day introduction process that is recommended. We have had both cats for 7 months now, and sometimes there is still some tension. They will "wrestle", sometimes with claws and sometimes without, and stalk and tackle each other also! It's actually funny to watch! But I am concerned that they really hate each other or that one may hurt the other. It seems that they are in a constant territory battle for rooms or pieces of furniture in the apartment. My main question is what to do when they begin to fight/wrestle? Do I let them go (until or unless it gets too physical anyway), or discipline them somehow to make them stop? Often, the fighting starts when Dejy (who is much more playful than Mowgli) tries constantly to play with her, and she would rather be sleeping or laying around. I wonder if getting a kitten, or another younger cat, would help alleviate the problem? If Dejy had someone to play with, she would leave Mowgli alone, and therefore they would get along better! OR maybe the worst thing to do would be to introduce another cat into this situation! I don't know!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
