Just had a new female ray. My male motoro hasn't left her alone. Been in the tank an hour now. He's kinda biting/leaching onto her. She has tried to sting him a few times. I've put food in. The male ignored it which he's never done since I've had him. The female just ate while he was sucking on her back? Any ideas?

Trying to mate her

ALREADY? Really?shes stung him now! He was stuck on her barb for about 10 mins. Only on his disk. No where deadly. It's bleeding. And he's still carrying on. She's about 4 inches bigger than him so is it even possible? This is my first female. Thanks

He's trying to breed with her. Females are always bigger.
Good luck
You might have to separate them.

Deffo sounds like breeding action. Good luck! What type of female did you just add?
It maybe a bit of territorial behavior too.
