Male rays fighting!!

[Hardhead]

I notice marks on the back of my 10" male aparcio ray. Thought it was the pleco in the tank and removed him a week ago. The wounds have gotten worse. Then i notice my 9" motoro ray chewing on his back in the morning and he was bleeding. Any way besides removing him from tank to cut down on aggression. I dont have a seperate tank to put him in now since i have small growouts in my other tanks.

He is prob wanting to mate. He maybe maturing. Not alot you can do about that, a divider might help, will give the 10" one time to heal.

Ok going to divide the tank to let him heal and see how it goes after he heals up.

Any other rays in the tank besides the 2 males? Size of tank they are in?

Got a female aparcio also she is about 7" they dont bother her. Tank is 6x2x2.5, in the process of ordering a 8'x33"x30" custom tank for them.
