i have 2 senegal bichrs in a 120 gallon and one of them (the one that doesnt come out as much) has a perfect tail while the others (comes out more) back fin is nipped bad. other fish in the tank are 1-kirin parrot, 1-blood parrot, 3-congo tetras (im thinking its these guys bc i cant get them anymore schoolers yet bc id have to special order them), 1-bristlenose pleco.

Mine was an *ss and tough as nails, I wouldn't worry about it.
But I can't tell if you are asking anything or just telling us about your chewed fish...?

he was sitting at the top yesterday. might just be bc he was too lazy to get air but could he be dieing from being nipped? i always make sure they get food by putting them in little holes only they can get in to.

Can you get a pic?
I'd add a bit of salt and keep the water extra clean.
Is there flesh or bone showing? If so, I'd QT him then.

I believe they might be, but mine could care less...

Then I guess that leaves just very clean water. I'm sure they would be sensitive to meds as well...
