Stingray Biting...

[mshill90]

Does anyone have any pics as to what stingray bites on other stingrays look like?

Someone in my tank is taking chunks out of my rays.. just the outer disc area.

I THINK it's the Ven Pike, as the bites are U shaped like his mouth.

The only other tank mates are Datnoids, carpintis, and juranese cats.

The Pike is very calm, but ever since the Flower Ray passed, he's been irritated (acting all frantic) and it's been as of then since the bites are showing up.

Here are two pics, the bites are the white marks which is what you will see in most cases. Usually only a dominant mature male will take chunks out of disk edge if he is trying to mate or just aggressive in nature. My jag male is aggressive enough to take chunks out but unlikely with your motoros. Sounds like another fish.

Best I can do..

My large male also has a bite like this.. Maybe the large female ray is doing this?

She is a little dominant over everyone.

could be the other ray.
my male made bite holes like that on my females disc.

Ouch, may have to put in a divider.

My male bites my female but they just look like bruises, those look really quite nasty but I would not be shocked if that was another ray.

She's going to be divided, and possibly moved to a separate tank.

Thats nothing compared to my large preg female. The previous owner had left her to be beaten up terribly!!! To me, it looks like another ray. Just keep the water good, I added melafix and it had cleared everythign up pretty quick. It should grow back no problem. Just seperate by trial and error or until you see one bitting another.
