All I can say to that is HOPEFULLY I will never have an issue, and IF I ever do, I guess I will have to deal with it then...but I will watch (as I do daily
)
Just so you know, it can be somewhat diffiicult to see the aggression right away as it may occur at night or when you are not around. It's also somewhat difficult to see evidence on the ray because they are so active. When my yellow has been picked on, it has alternated between periods of frantic swimming or burying itself for long periods. These are the only real ways for rays to avoid aggression. So watch for these signs with those angels.

yes, it has.. i have a few of my photos in magazines and brochures. I used to watermark everything before posting it but it takes away from the pictures (Even faint watermarks i find annoying) im flattered that people want to use my photos but i had an instance where i found one of my photos on another website with their watermark on it, was a photo of one of my rabbits that has very distinct markings (And duh, i have the photo file) it was on another website with their watermark over mine, i contacted the web owner and eventually they took it down but it was a real hassle. I dont mind people using my photos i just request they give credit where credit is due is all. I choose not to put watermarks on because its very time consuming and IMO comes across as coc.ky

Wild stuff going in on my tank tonight. I just noticed that my blue dot ray is losing its stinger. Anybody have any idea why they lose their stingers? I'm not worried about it because my yellow has lost its stinger before without a problem. I've just never read or heard why this happens.

I think they just shed them periodically. You can see the other stinger growing in behind this one. I've just never heard of it before but now I've seen it twice.
Hey Crimzy...mine has done that too...I thought maybe it got caught on something...although I could not have imagined what...but now after reading your post, I guess we can come to the conclusion that this is a "normal" occurence...
