Hey guys,

I realise that one of my stingray has a portion of his disc that has a faded colour. Any idea what this is? Will post pics soon!
 
Hmm he was already like that when i got him, tank mates are 3 other rays around the same size. Other rays do not have that problem, and i have isolated this ray to another tank. Oh was also wondering if the edges of a ray's disc is damanged slightly, will it grow back to give the ray a nice round shape again?
 
If part of the disc is missing, it will grow back to form its original shape. It tends to leave some scar tissue which will heal up seamlessly over time - even the markings will match up again...... most of the time
 
hmm here's an update... the condition worsened and im probably guessing it's the pleco I have in the tank. Or does these look like something else rather than bite marks? Funny thing is all my 3 other rays are fine so i doubt it will be any water parameter problem causing burns. If it's another ray biting him or the pleco sucking on his disc, why are the other 3 in perfect shape?
