hi, i had my blue acara added in my 40 gal tank for 3 months then all of a sudden, i found him floating at the top, upside down, no tail, all fins rip to sh*t and an eye missing.. 
i put him in my quarantine tank, ( i was really considering to end his life)
treated him with melafix for a week, his tail has started to grow back and so has his finnage his eye socket has healed. the blue acara is 3"
i was wondering, what could of attacked and done this to him? keeping in mind he was boss of the tank, he kept all the other fish in check he is a vicious little buggar, he even attacked the gravel cleaner
heres the list of what ive got in there:
salvini male 4"
salvini female 3"
black ghost knife 4"
lima shovelnose 6"
blue loach 4"
keeping in mind that the salvinis dont breed, there not a pair though they are tolerant of each other
if you think you could help that would be great
