I have had a black ghost knife for just a couple of days now and i just noticed that his dorsal fish (the bottom wavy fin) is a little feathered like its looks a little ripped. I have barbs and i think it could be them. I read they nip their fins. Or does this happen natrally to their fins. Heres a photo of one, mines looks the same but not as bad.

I have a breeders net/cage with the capaticy of 5 gallons it think. Could i put some of the larger barbs ing there until i can put them into my other tank thats cycling? There is 4 barbs.
Thanks
