This male got 4 stab wounds within two seconds trying to go at it. The first hit went very deep. He is still active and eating as usual today, so no serious harm seems to be done.

As he breaths a piece of flesh gets pumped out and in from one of the wounds that are located over the gills. Looking straight at the wound when it was fresh - i could see the inside of him pretty easily using a flashlight :eek:

Ouch! I'm gonna guess the female wasn't in the mood for hanky panky lol

I hope he recovers well for you. He's a beautiful ray. :)
 
I'm sure he will recover fine. Stingrays are the masters at regenerating from damage. The only thing I've never understood though is as good as their disk is at recovering, their tail doesn't grow back.
 
Make sure you net that female and trim the barb or you could end up with a dead male!!
