Unfortunately looks like ich and fish also a victim of aggression based on fin condition from nipping
For ich, you will need to place fish in a separate tank and treat with
Coppersafe or Copper Power at therapeutic level 2.25-2.5 For a FULL 30 days (do not interrupt this 30 day period) monitored by a reliable Copper Test kit such as Hanna Brand- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.
The display tank will have to be kept fishless (FALLOW) for 6-8 weeks to assure the existing parasites go through their life cycle without a host fish and die off
A quarantine tank can be as simple as a tank from a second hand store or a starter kit from Walmart which most of the needed essentials.
Is fish eating and breathing normal?

And PS. You will need to treat all your fish
 
Yes - that's ich, (looking at the spots on the pectoral fins). You'll need to either treat all of the fish, or try to "manage" it in place. You'll also want to remove the fish that made those bite marks if it continues to happen.
