They are Bonas Aries Tetra (spelling)...if it is the tetra, will they continue to bite each other?

ime beunos aires tetras will definitely nip each other, and yes, the nipping may continue...unfortunately there's not a lot u can do unless u can add more fish to dilute aggression

in the meantime I'd give them a treatment of melafix, it should heal the fin nicely. Worked on my black phantom tetras.
