give it 2 weeks and it will heal, then 1 month for it to look normal.

thank you sir for your respond.. his tankmates now is one motoro ray.. is it okay with the stingray?
 
how big is the ray? also, have you removed the orino from the tank?
 
Melafix and TLC should speed up the process. The fins will heal back up, but that looks pretty bad don't know if the fins will heal back perfectly...

I don't recommend it, but have heard of arowana fin surgery so the fins heal back perfect again.
 
the ray will not "likely" to go up and eat the aro but.. put the aro in it own tank so that it will be easier to treat and heal. people do trim the fins on the aro so that it will grows back nicely.
 
young aros are very fragile and do not do well with tankmates, but now just warm clean water and a bit of salt and he'll be fine

most people in our site said it will grow back.. just maintain good water.. regular feeding..
 
There is a chance the fins will not fully recover, but it should still grow into a beautiful black.
