Now what!!?? Shredded Fins

[CarriFoster]

Ok got a bigger tank (55gal.) I think my fish look rediculously small in it but at least they have room to swim But I noticed my small shubunkin and my fancy's tails are kind of shredded is this from my big Shabunkin "picking" on them?? They still eat and there are no other noticable signs of disease...I'm yet again lost on what to do. AHHHHH!!!! I love my fish but who knew when I decided to do this it would be soo hard!!

Yeah, it's probably fin-nipping. It's generally a good idea to separate "fancy" goldfish from fast swimmers, like Shubunkin. Watch them for signs of bacterial infection now that your fish have wounds.

How long have you had this tank?
