thanks. hopefully he will use his claspers puerto rican style!

he is finally acting like a normal motoro. he is easting every time i put food in. his hip bones have disappeared. he is starting to fatten up. the fungus like tufts are almost gone.
however, im getting cold feet about putting him in my main tank. he is a biiiiiiigggggg boy and will be bigger than 3 of the 4 females in the tank. he is also more than twice the size of the other MATURE male marble in the large tank. i dont know if its going to work. i dont want him to kill my other male as even though he is better looking than my other male, my other male holds sentimental value to me as i have raised him since he was a weee pup.
also, ive seen the damage my little mature male can do on the females. i can only imagine what this big guy can do to the females if he started trying to mate and they werent interested!!
im very hesitant and scared... im almost to the point where i think he would be better off in someone elses home with larger females and a tank that doesn't already have 7 other rays in it!
what should i do!!???!?!?

he is doing ALOT better. keeping the weight on. he is fully dewormed now. he is taking shrimp now. he will soon go into the 700 gallon tank. i am just waiting for those darn white spots on the underside of his disc to fully go away. im afraid whatever they are they will infect the other rays.
i think the white spots were from previous infections. the tank that he used to be in had very fine white sand. the sand must have gotten into the infection and stayed.... i assume!!!
i wonder what they are!!?!?!!??!! o well....
