not sure about the amonia spike but the bite marks are normal, how big is your tank? and what is your filtration? you might need to beef it up a bit, as if your female gets preggers she is going to eat way more and thus produce way more crap. good luck with future pup's.
its 200 gal with fx5 and eheim 2 wet and dry the rays are 12inch female and male about 10 nothing else in tank i change 50% water weekly god knows why it spiked
Water is fine now but getting very worried my female is getting bitten in the same place to if she is not ready to bred can the male kill her ? should i move her ? should i add salt?
Yes the eheim was off for about a hour but the fx5 should have been ok in that time . I put the bad reading down to a old test kit . The new one reads 0 still worried on the female the male seems to only bite her in the same place making the bite worse.
if it gets really out of hand you need to seperate.. as of now just let it ride out... a lil salt wont hurt... and just keep the water clean... good luck
