Do not mix a small ray with a Large sized Bichir

[redtailfool]

Its a lesson to me at least.. Did the combo last night , as ive been doing the combo
for some time now without any harm to the ray or ornate. Got home to see this...

Ray doesnt seem stressed but it looks gruesome on a young motoro. :(

:eek: OUCHIE!!! :eek:

[redtailfool]

yeah.. i was relieved when it ate till it pooped. Looks like it didnt get stressed. Hope it doesnt croak on me.

[DeLgAdO]

you know if rays heal fast??

[redtailfool]

Yeah they do... :) If they dont get stressed and if the wound isnt that deep
they can regenerate quickly. It scars sometimes..

my 2 either got suck on by my royal or burned by heater, it healed slowly but forever will there be a scar. :cry:

Thanks caveman. it hurts to see it gashed. But ray seems unaffected and is eating more than ever . :thumbsup:

I didnt know Orante Bichir did stuff like that maybe he is the one who has been biting my female Red Terror? Glad to hear the Ray is still eating.

I heard it happen before but i didnt pay attention because this ornate used to live with my tiger ray and another motoro. Guess it picked on this one because its a baby....

[PhullTank57]

I've had that happen to me before... Lost a 7.5" motoro due to a bite inflicted by my 18" Endlicheri. Took a huge chunk of it's disk... biting right through the ray's organs! :(

Wesley, I suggest you move the ray out from your main tank... with your ray's wound being raw & fresh like that... your bichir (or other fish) can easily sense or smell it... it may just may take another snap at it once it's hungry again?!!... if not another fatal bite, it might just be enough too overstress your ray to death?!! :uhoh: Keep a close eye on the tank the next couple days and GL! :headbang2

[mon]

that really hurts... i got to take note of this...

[WckedMidas]

dam dude that blows who would have thought a bichir could do that i wouldnt haveminer are so docile

[shoefreak03]

it is still painful to see a nice motoro bitten up. hope it will heal up nicely.

[neoprodigy]

damn that sux wes..... i could have taken him home with that day too.... but again... he might bite my flowers.... then i will be.....

[bluedempsey]

[managuense-fury]

I hate when cheap fish bite more expensive fish. :drool:

When you get them are you going to put them with panclock? :naughty:

[DanDanUK]

Yeah they do... :) If they dont get stressed and if the wound isnt that deep
