Hey guys,

here are some pics of my male motoro. sorry they are crappy mobile pics. he's in a 280 with other rays and an RTG. I've noticed that its male parts looked nipped one day but it was feeding and swimming alright.

few days later I've noticed that its disc has these white marks and injuries. I am worried now. Court it be some kind of fungal or other infection/disease or are these just injuries ? please help

Looks to be damage inflicted by other tankmates.
 
Probably a another ray getting out its frustration, you should separate, wont get better if not.. They tend to keep up with the bullying..I would deff put a dividder inn, keep the water clean to avoid fungal.
 
it could be the larger hybrid. he's been acting bit pushy lately. the motoro is around 12-13" and the largest hybrid is about 14-15" in dia.
 
It looks like his clasper has been bitten in half.

I have alot deeper then that, no problem here! The rays turn it over x times a day. Almost like a sand filter.

yup. substrate's never been a problem. and its just this one ray. others are fine.
