In my case, the second time around, I started with the smallest chrys I could find and had it in QT with 4 - 1month old orange skunks that I had raised myself. I put in 4 so it would spread out any possible aggression. When we went to their "breeding" tank it took the skunk that hung out closest to the chrys. They lived together fine for about a year until the face eating incident.

This is them in QT and in their new home.

I looked very hard for CB chrysopterus at the time, but none were available. I still don't think there are more than a couple people who have had success with chrysopterus.
