First ray bite

[Bogwoodbruce]

I was making a thread baout this but my PC crashed so here i go again: I have a female humerosa and yesterday i noticed a bite wound from another ray probably when feeding they get very excited, so i treated her with a doseage of salt and now this morning it looks a bit bloody as theres red in it, will it get worst and what can i do to help?

 

[wetsock]

loads of water change, and keep the water quality up. it will heal in no time

salt and pristine water....

Ive come back home today and found the same thing but not as bad has happened to my female motoro, and my falkneri has a small 'white' patch where it could have been pecked at, so im removeing all other tankmates.

 

[Nic]

your castexi is what you mean.... do a large water change after you move tank mates and then add more salt

Ive removed a few tank mates, ive done a very big W.C. i now have a theory recent ive started feeding them less, and the Dominant male is very greedy and i have seen him climbing on top of the females and trying to pinch their food this is what i think has happened npt the tankmates, so ive fed much more food and he hasnt tried to pinch theirs, So ive took abotu 40% out, added salt again and a extra air pump. Wish me luck im really worried
