I have 1 female motoro and 2 male motoros in a 500 gallon tank. In the past 2 weeks the 2 males have been beating up the female. She has bite marks on her. Nips around her and it looks red on one of the spots on her. They are all around 13''. I have a 45 gallon hospital tank but I am not sure if thats big enough. Why are the 2 males al a sudden picking on the female? what should I do?

they are trying to breed with her 
, once she gets preggo it normally stops..... you can get an egg crate divider if u want to seperate them for a while

yeah thats what I thought. I am going to keep them full and happy.
the problem with egg create is I think it comes in sheets of 4'x1'
when my tank is 88.5 long and 30 tall and 44 wide
what should i do for a divider

Pvc and fiberglass screening for home windows worked good for me. build a frame out of the pvc and zip tie the screen onto it. But i would let them go unless she stops eatting or something and then seperate.
I will look for 4x3 egg create that will be perfect. so when I put the divider in, let her heal up, make her nice and fat and try again.
well, how bad are her bite marks,..... as long as she isnt bitten to bad i would leave her in.... or maybe pick your best looking male and put the divider in to keep the other male at bay...... this way you can still hope the deed gets done
