On a less happy front the fish were very aggressive all day. I don't know if this is how they normally behave or if I am only seeing this behavior because I am home on the weekend. They were chasing each other all over the tank, in and out of the holes in the rocks, and in tight circles best the corner. Three more fish have nips in their dorsal fins. Big Red, Spot, and another middler. I had seen the second middler had a nip last night, I noticed Spot had a small nip this afternoon and this evening I see Big Red has been a little shredded too. The dorsal fins on all the fish had grown out nicely since they were first purchased. It is sad to see them getting mangled these past few days.
All this aggression also make me concerned for any fish we add to the tank in the near future. Maybe more food is the answer. Must be sure to continue monitoring.
Also, the fish are scared of my phone camera so I've posted the most not terrible image of a fish with a nipped fin.
