My Rosy Barb's tail is cut after adding guppies. Is it fin nipping?

Question

I had one rosy Tetra for 2.5months till yesterday and on yesterday itself I added a pair of guppies and binos . I also added pebbles in my Fish tank yesterday. Today I was shocked to find out that my Rosy Tetra who was totally healthy till yesterday had it's tail fins slightly cut and wasn't looking as a good healthy Tetra. What is the cause for this? Is he injured or sick ? Please Give me a solution to this. Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Male | 2 lbs

It is likely the Rosy Barb had the fins nipped by the guppies. You'll need to separate them to allow for healing. Additionally, rosy barbs do best in small schools (4-8 fish). This will allow for some measure of protection against bullying by other fish.
