I'm after a bit of help with my ray. I've just noticed a few straches on my ray.

I've had her about 6 months and she's gone into my big tank with a jardini about 2 months ago.

There's nothing for her too side to get scratched on, apart from either the return pump from the sump or my jar.

Do the photos look like she's being beaten up or do my problems lie elsewhere?

All that's in there is a stingray, jardini, powerhead, outtake and return.

Really not sure what she'd scratch herself on unless it's the jardini picking on hed
 
Lets see the tank? Maybe some way your drain or return is set up that she could be rubbing on that can be changed? Does she surf the sides?
 
I'll upload some photos tomorrow, as I'm not outside with the tank now.

The return isn't along the sides of the tank though so I'm not sure how it could be the case.

Yes she does, but normally sticks to the bottom
 
I think it has to be, I'll keep an eye on it and see if it gets worse. It's only just happened so fingers crossed is a one off
