I have a 10g tank, Ammonia 0, NitrIte 0, NitrAte 10, ph 7.8, temp 24.7

I have two females and one male, maybe 8 to 10 tiny babies from two batches, 13 shrimp, and 14 plants. You can see my tank and history on my thread in planted tanks.

Yesterday I noticed that the side fin was half gone and white at the end, only one fin. All behavior is normal in all fish.
 
sounds like possible aggression and nipped off?? or does it look fuzzy like some sort of fungus?
 
Welllll, it could be nipped I guess. It is half moon shapped with dead parts hanging. My two other swordtails do not have it. I tried getting a picture but it is almost impossible.
 
Update:

Fin looks the same, very active chasing food...babies and flake...

Will check water parameters in the morning and probably do a PWC
