My Ray tail broke and is dangling

Dear bros and sis my Ray tail broke into two as got into a fight with other tankmates and currently it is dangling at the other end. May I know will it pose any danger to it's life? it is only a 6 inch pup and any advise to treat such condition? Should I cut the broken tail end or let it drop by itself? Or just leave it alone? The Ray is still eating mp now. Pls advise.

Are you able to post a pic of the area where the tail broke? My advise is to leave it. As long as it is eating well, it will be fine. Just keep ur water tip top condition to prevent secondary infection setting in.

if you dare cut it away but becareful of the sting. The wound will heal back but tail become shorter

Hi lyan bro does that means that the "flag" shape pattern of my pdr will be gone too? When heal back will be just a normal pointed tail? Thx.

yes. it is gone forever. it wun grow back to its original state

Hi yanki bro in that case should I cut away the dangling tail or let it drop itself? Will is pose any life danger to my Ray?

Is it normal for pup rays to break it's tail for many reasons from young to adulthood?

oh dear that's a pity. i guess keeping the water clean to prevent secondary infections is the best advice so far. good luck on ur ray's road to recovery.
