What's the male to female ratio??

 

[haythem]

5 males and 7 females

5 males and 7 females

Most likely the males are nipping each other in pursuit of the females. I would keep the ratio at 1m/3f....

 

[haythem]

but will it grow back ???

Yes but you need to separate them for a while and/or reduce the number of males. I have a Krib who's tail was chewed right to the stump. I separated him and it grew back fine in about 2-3wks.

Hopefully you can separate them because it is very likely it will happen again. Maybe exchange a few males for females at your LFS??
