It's probably from the female, they can be quite rough with each other - is she not untidy as well?
Melafix will help it to heal and help prevent any secondary infections.

She usually avoids him as he is always ready to mate with extended fins all the time, looks amzing, she did have some fins little bit torn when i got her but she healed quick
