Please help my female albino Corydoras tail has been bitten off! 
I have recently gotten some new pearl and leopard dainos as mine had recently died of old age after over two years of keeping them.
Could they have bitten her? She is still swimming arpund as if nothing hasn't happened but I am really worried, I have had this fish for over three years, she has survived everything thing that has happend in my tank, some of you guys may remember when my filter exploded, she was the only surviving fish.
I really don't know what do also have a feeling it could be my two swordtails but they will be moved into my guppie tank soon. Should I does any medicines, should I remove any fish? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Danios can be fin nippers, as can sword tails, is there any way you could separate her? like a fry saver or a quarantine tank would be better till she grows her tail back.Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

Yes I have a fry saver and a spare tank should I move her to there?

If the tank is fully cycled and the same water params as the tank she's in now then yes, if not the fry saver will be ok.Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

You might want to consider the possibility that the tetras are the assailants. Much more likely to be fin-nippers in my experience than danios. Larger swordtails may also cause damage.

Tetras
Bob's most likely right
