I introduced my CK to a new home 2 days ago, and he is getting a bit beat up by my indo 4" bulky for a small indo.. the clown is 5" and pretty bulky for a small clown.. basically I'm wondering wether to let the clown stay or to put him back in the little tank and let him take the beating again next time I introduce him..
it won't matter if I will reintroduce him later since the indo is hateful as hell and will beat on everything no matter size or temper.. introduced 20" plec and he would get a headace trying to figure out how to get a reaction from headbutting it.. good thing is that the aggression wears of in a couple of days so it basically comes down to how much beating the clown can stand.. during these 2 days he has a couple of rips in his fin, scratches in his scales (nothing deep but enough to be seen as bright lines in his body) and the aggression is clearly lessened from the indos side..
The ck is not the least shy and will come out and eat and otherwise ok, I'm just not sure how much damage there really is.. is it just bruises or is it actually serious damage..
help me guys..
