I have a 10" jag that now feels that my 10" RTC is a threat. The jag has been nipping at his fins all day and it is really stressing the RTC out. They have calmed downed, but every once in a while the jag comes by and messes with him. My question is should I move the RTC to an empty 45 gallon overnight to let him mend? Or should I keep him in 120 gallon because the transfer to the other tank might increase his stress? This is the first issue I've had with the jag. I am not sure what to do. Any help is appreciated.
 
Prob should just move the jag. I mean he's going to Be lunch in a matter of months anyway :(
 
After I posted I kept an eye on the tank and everyone has calmed down. The jag is king of the tank, and the rtc is eating well and claimed another part of the tank. I am in the process of selling the rtc, I know I can't house him forever and figure I better sell him now before he eats one of my other fish.
 
Another RTC sent back out into the market. :(
 
Will the tail fin of the RTC heal? It is seperated in a couple places from the jag nipping at it. The length is the same it is just split in a couple places.
