Ray Experts! Advice Please...

[glockner99]

Hello All,
It seems one of my Motoro's has had a few millimeters of the tip of his tail either ripped off or bitten off exposing his tail cartillage. Will this grow back and recover the tip or what should I expect? I have two male and one female Motoro's. Could this be the work of one of the others? They are still quite small!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Chris

keep the water clean and it will heal over quickly.... nothing to worry about... you can add some salt if you wish i would do tonic treatment 1lbs per 100 gallons

Should be fine; what Nic said, throw some salt in there and keep water clean.

So 1lb and a half of salt for my 150....treating with the other two in the tank shouldn't be an issue would it? Do you think one of the other rays would do this?

1.5lbs/150gal is a tonic and if you see problems emerging and the healing is very slow, or any signs of infections than up to the treatment dose of 4.5lbs/150gal.

Make sure that you add the salt mixed in water ahead of adding it to the setup ...and add it slowly, not all at once, over a couple days.

that amount just add it at once.... no need for a few days... but yes 1.5 pounds of salt would be tonic... you could just keep it easy and add 2 lbs...
