i don't know of a website but i'll list a few:

barbs can
tetras are known to if they are in small groups and the like.
male guppies sometimes nip each other showing off.

don't really know alot more but i would say alot of fish can under some circumstances.

tiger barbs are notorious

so are serpae tetras

Back when I had rasboras, they nipped the other fish like crazy. I was new to them and only had two, that may have had something to do with it.

will they stop their nipping if they will be in a group of 6 or more?
