In the fish room
My female MM has like two small patches on her under belly that looks like a really bad burn or cut or something. Is it a fungus you think I will try to get a picture of it and post it. Its whitish with patches of red in it.
 
We need pics to help, is there a guard on your heater? what yours decor?
 
Ok heres the pictures also there is no sand or gravel and the heater is fully covered with pvc pipe so the is no way it was the heater

This is the tank

i would guess maybe the other ray's stinger or a filter or something... i donno... raise the temp to about 86 and add just a lil salt
 
I would just let it heal on its own, unless blood is coming out it doesnt look serious....
 
Ok thank you both I have been freaking out about this. I just moved them into a 150 cuz there temp tank started to leak. I added some salt and I will raise the tanks temp. I think it was the stinger wound also as I noticed it after I got another ray out of the tank to ship out a day later I noticed it. Thanks again you two.

The tank only has sponge filters in it so it must have been the stinger of another ray
