i have recently added a female motoro to my male, but my male is really agressive towards her . i left them together for a week but he has damaged her a lot , so i have them seperated now by a divider in the tank but he still trys to harm her , was wondering if there is any way of calming him down , the female is about 40cm disc and the male is smaller around 30cm disc and the tank is 1200L with only two spotted gar , any help appreciated.... thanks leon.

Theres no way I know of calming him down. Sometimes you just have to separate them like you have. Make sure they are well fed. Sometimes the rays can get a little nippy if they are really hungry.
whats the water temp? i heard that when the water temp is high, ray's tend to get really adgissive.
are his claspers mature.... i agree with fish dog.... keep them separate for now let her recoup then try again
thanks guys , the male is 2 years old ive had him since a pup and only since ive added the female has he been goin crazy, the temp of my tank is 27degrees celcius , i feed them twice a day , pellets in the morn and prawns and white bait at night then 1 day with no food .. the female always gets more food , im goin to take the barrier away on sunday wen im home and see how they go , if he trashs her to much im goin to swap him over for a younger male from my mate but he is to small to breed ..... thanks leon
