I have noticed on all 4 fish they have had their fins bitten off but I can't figure out which fish it is I lost a female betta, a blue eyed yellow rainbow, a black cory and a female swordtail.

The other fish I have in my tank are,
1 male swordtail
4 females and a load of fry
1 male platy
2 female platy
2 blue eyed yellow rainbow
1 celebes rainbow
2 dwarf neon rainbow
1 panda cory
2 peppered cory
2 bronze cory
1 black cory
1 gold cory

I know they all work together, I know some should have more but these fish have been rescued and taken from friends and family who could have them anymore,

I have majority of them for 6 months except and black and gold cory for 2 months

Please any ideas on who is the aggressive one and killing off my fish.

Could this also be a reason why my platys arnt breeding
 
What tank size are you keeping the fish in? How long did you set up your aquarium? Ammonia? Nitrite? Nitrate? GH?
 
Tank size is 400 litres or 87 gallons I think around that, I just did a 75% water change, but

Ammonia was 0
Nitrite was 0.2ppm
Nitrate was 5ppm
Ph was 7.3
Forgot to check the gh
 
If you could get the GH for us that would be great :)
 
I cant think of anything right now. Could it be fin rot?
 
Well, whether it is fin rot or was bitten, large water changes will help them heal
 
Did you notice the fins before or after death? How fast did the fish die after you noticed the torn fins?

I noticed before the recent one the black cory was within a 1 day the betta on the day of death within a few hours same with the blue eyed rainbow and the swordtail was 2 days before death
 
I have found the culprit one of my female swordtails is doing it for some reason, she's been separated and no more issues has occurred
