P.A.
So my rays tail has either been broken or bitten off. It's up past the barb so the barbs sticking out past his tail now. I heard the poison is actually in the tail itself an the bard pierces the tail then whatever it's sticking and that injects the poison. With that being said, is the water he is in now poisonous, dangerous to be on your skin? Like from water changes. Also if one of my fish bit his tail off are they poisoned or going to show signs of it? I just got the ray from Aquascape and it's barb has been out from the foam they ship over the barb when picking it up.
 
The poison is between the barb and the skin covering it. I think your water should be fine along with the fish that bit the end off. FYI You would also find quicker/better answers to your ray questions in the stingray section of bottom dwellers.
