Tiger Barb Fin Fraying

[Andrew G]

One of my Tiger Barb's fins is fraying. All of the other fish appear to be fine and in good condition.

What might be the cause for this condition and the cure?

Thanks for your help,
Andrew

Any fish nipping him, he looks ok not really bad as there no white edges.

He's usually the one nipping everyone elso. LOL

I guess they get back at him when I'm not looking.

Any medication useful in resolving this issue?

Best to add a medication to prevent infection or remove to issolation tank
esha 2000 or Melafix could be best.

Does the melefix disrupt a fully cycled tank?
