i woke up one morning to see my new motoro stingray was attacked but i don't believe it was intentional because i put a tea cup ray in a few days after the attack happened and the tea cup is still ok nothing wrong with it so i thing it might have been my red tail catfish but now what do i do to doctor him?? here is a vid of him and my tank now plz help! ang thanks to everyone

Many potential dangers to your rays in there.....That reticulated is liable to be eaten. Salt and good clean water will help heal the damage but it will just happen again.
 
Don't believe it was intentional? Doesn't look like an accident to me.

Nothing you can do except, oh, I don't know, move the rays somewhere where they aren't going to get killed :irked: As for the ray that's already been gouged, clean water maybe a little salt and hope.
 
I wouldn't try moving that ray in its current condition, you should remove all the dangerous tank mates, red tail and pleco probably being the worst dangers. Clean water and aquarium salt are about all you can do for that ray. If whatever did that to your motoro goes after your retic it will almost certainly be fatal based on its size.
 
I would have to agree with everyone else and remove the pleco and red tail in order to save your rays...
 
well. i dont take to kindly to thos who r being rude! this post says HELP! not EXPERIENCED! i removed the pleco and all the catfish just to be safe thanks for your input everyone but he didnt make it :cry: but thos of u who are being sarcastic its not needed were all here to learn and give advice! thats what this fourms about! im going to miss my :stingray:
 
If I were you Id remove the Gar and pleco those would make the most sense how would the rtc do tht they don't have teeth they just suck in there food maybe it it was a lot bigger but good luck in the rays recovery
