I've got 2 young motoros and their tales are short and stubby now and they have turned white and dead looking and the tale ends just after the stinger, is this normal or is it bad and how can i help them?

I wouldnt suggest you keep observing at this point. Add salt and raise temp.

well the new stingers are coming in (theyre brothers from the same batch of pups) but it looks like the tales are actually dying

yes add salt and raise temp, if it get infected, medicate them.

tail will not grow back, so where it is broken off, thats where its gonna stay.

well before you go off on this crazy salting med thing... lets try 2 things.... 1 how about a few 50% water changes in a row flush your tank.... and then how about some pictures....

just a IDEA before you do anything else...
