I have a simular problem too. My 125 gallon has two male motoros and a female retic who constatly chases the males around the tank. They are all between 4"-5" so they are nowhere near sexual maturity. Any ideas? I had them seperated for about a month after I added the motoros took it out today she went right for them again.
Very disapointed in my existing ray's behaviour

I got mine to calm down by gorging them on nightcrawlers 
My existing male was so gorged that his belly was actually swelling out; He ate nine full size nightcrawlers before he would settle down; The new guy is eating now as well; but it sucks because now my big male won't eat his shrimp, only want the nightcrawlers; So I will continue with the worms until the new guy is completely healed from his attacks and then I'll starve them over to accepting cut shrimp;
So food seems to be the answer for my guys; I'd love to get a mature female marble in here so my big guy could release some of his tension

I just some trout worms in my tank and DAMN! My retic was beating up on the males trying to steal food. The motoros got some but she took a lot of food and bite them I think.
