I have it on both male and female and they dont have any torn fins

Its from fighting vin. Mine get that a lot. Females can fight eachother too. Especially if you have a bunch in a tank

I don't think so. At least not my case or half my plecs would be dead. Once I moved out some of the plecs with other groups the fighting stopped and so did the red fins. But, I could be wrong in your case this is just my own experience.

Septicemia would be in the tissue, not on the edges. They are fighting.
