one thing that I can't figure out is that they all have nip marks on them. I know I had nippy clowns at one time, because I saw that in person.
but that was months ago. I have been watching these fish for months and never have seen any nipping going on. but they are nipped..
it could be either:
a) barbs nipping barbs and SD's nipping SD's (they don't touch any but their own)
b) barbs nipping barbs and SD's
c) SD's nipping barbs and SD's
or it could be no nipping at all -these guys can be pretty skittish and when they flip around and when smaller they can tear fins easily.
I have no idea lol

Are they plastic plants? Any chance some of hte minor damage is caused by those?
At any rate, they have spectacular growth and I <3 those sd's!

yes, they are plastic. otherwise they would be lunch 
the thing is, I don't think thats the problem cause I have been keeping redhooks for almost 20 years now (I have always had a set since I started fishkeeping) and I have never had that problem..so...I don't know..

I picked up a bunch of barbus filamentosa today. one of my favorite barbs. I had a school of 4 semi adults in my old fishroom that were stunning, so I think a school will look great in the big tank.
they are in the quarentine tank to be grown up a bit first though because they are a bit small. probably redhook food if I tried putting them in there now..
