So I added two motoros to my tank two days ago. a male / female wild caught pair.

Since then I have noticed a nice gash on the nose of my lima shovel nose catfish, and a decent little cut above the eye of my silver aro.

What can I do to help these guys from getting too close and getting whipped by the barbs on the rays?
 
As for the lima shovel nose it could have gotten stung by accident swimming over the tail of the rays. The silver aro is a different story it could have taken a nip ate the rays eyes and.got stung. Check your rays barbs and keep a close eye on the injured fish they might have been invenomated. I had the same problem with my hystrix she stung and killed a 10.5" midevil cause it tried to eat her eyes.

The eyes of the rays are perfect, and the aro already looks to be on the mend, I hope the fish really have learned their lesson and don't go in for another attempt...

As for the tank, I am nagging for the 450 to get here asap.
