So in my 180g tank I have 2 red spot Severums 2 blood parrot cichlids and 8 polar blue cichlids. I’ve noticed lately that both the red spot Severums and blood parrots have slightly frayed fins that almost look like they have worn away a bit. But after a short period of time they repair and look normal and then the same thing happens again. I’m wondering what might be going on? I have noticed that 2 of the polar blues have laid eggs and are very protective of them so they do seem to be chasing and nipping the other fish a bit. Could the fins wearing away be from the nipping?
