Do you get nervous when they are close?

The asian RTC is an a-hole. I had him in a 120g with my TSN and thought they could hang. At least long enough until I got a bigger tank (I'm picking up a 450g tomorrow). No luck, within a week he was trying to bite the TSN. I woke up one morning and saw a bite mark on the tail of the TSN. So the ARTC is now temporarily in a 55g. Which I feel absolutely awful about, but at this point thats the only empty tank that he can have to himself. He will soon be going back in the 120g by himself, and the pond will come shortly. However, at this point, I might see if I can't trade him for a SA RTC. I would really like to have the cats together, and that seems like its not possible.

The weird thing is, he only eats pellets. I can't get him to touch anything else, not worms, not shrimp, not krill. He has no interest in live food whatsoever, he just wants to destroy his tank mates.

Very nice cats dude, shame they wont live together, the ARTC'S do get really territorial and aggressive towards other tank mates so dont feel bad u prob done the right thing as long as he aint in that 55g for too long u should be free from any sarky comments or remarks.

If i were u i would rehome the tsn and what ever else u gona put into the 450g and put the artc into the 1 he was previously in as for him only eating pellets well if thats what he wants then do it he soon get sick of them as i found out with my cats, they are very fussy eaters and often go on hunger strike just to piss u off i guess
