Ok so I have a 135 gal planted with a fluvial fx5 temp steady at 78 to 78.6
Current stock is 4 small balla sharks, 1 small rainbow shark, 2 three inch albino bristlenose plecs, 2 three inch pictus cats, 1 five inch peacock eel, 1 opaline and 1 blue gourami.
There are also currently 4 german blue rams 4 neon tetras and 6 cherry barbs they are being taken to my local swap next Sunday however and will only be in this tank for this week. Tank has been up and running with this stock and no losses for over a year. I dose glut daily and add ferts to the dirt every few months.
My problem is I bought 6 new angels Friday. Came home did my weekly 40% water change then, drip acclimated them and added to the tank. They all seem to be doing great and I even had a pair mate up and lay eggs last night. I know the guy I got them from and he said they hadn't paired off before. This morning however the smallest one has a split in its tail that wasn't there before. One of the bigger ones had a split top fin when I got him that already seems to be healing so why is the little guys splitting?
I no I have a big mix of semi aggressive fish and surprisingly I've never seen any aggression out of any of them even after adding the Angels I have set and watch the tank for hours and even watched it during the night with a blue light, so I don't believe aggression is the issue.
Ideas and thoughts would be greatly appreciated thank you

To me it just looks like a split from misadventure which should heal fine. How is that fish doing? Only other thought would of been if you added ferts at same time but nitrate looked fine.
 
Looks about the same. But the one with the split top fin is almost completely healed
