3 days ago I noticed a vertical tear in the middle of my knife's fin that ran nearly to his body. Today that original tear is gone and there are 4 or 5 small vertical tears toward the rear of his fin. I have mollies, guppies, platies, 2 striped raphaels, a bristlenose pleco, 2 giant danios, a blue gourami, and 5 roseline sharks. Are the other fish beating on him? Due to growth? Any ideas?

Blue Gouramis are known to be aggressive even though they are sold as Community fish. Another guess is that it's trying to muscle in on hiding spots that the Raphael Cats and/or Pleco are in and getting it's own fins shredded by the Cats' armored bodies.
