tail spikes?

Are you talking about the spikes that run down the back of the tail? If so then I believe the Retic is the only one that does not have them. All the other rays I have seen do. The brown rays tend to have a single row where tigers, flowers, and black rays have multiple rows. They are not capable of stinging with them just with the larger stinger. They say if you step on them the spikes on there tail can cut the bottom of your foot like a saw blade when the ray takes off. Have only heard that not witnessed.
yes the ones on the back of the tail....that is what i thought...as for the retics being the only ones that don't have them...i have 3 rays...2 retics no spikes one new ray that most are saying retic, but it has spikes so i am confused...FishDog;3818559; said:

sometimes i see fungus growing on them, espcially the newly acquired ones ... some in my friend's pond too ... probably due to poor water management ...
2 of my 3 retics don't have them, but my new one does...i was confused on the id of the new ray cause i thought retics didn't have them
