This only appeared about a week ago, right after the new Fry Hatched. Could it have been damaged by the other fish and then Bacteria did the rest?

The other fish are also Jack Dempseys

It's more likely bacteria or a parasite caused the redness and fin rot and now it's beginning to show the effects of the problem. Without knowing exactly what it is the best thing I can suggest is using a multi cure, malachite green and methylene blue are 2 of the main ingredients and will stain silicon.

JDs are tough fish - give it another couple of days and see if it starts healing on its own. Melafix is a good mild start in the mean time if you are concerned. Multicure can help prevent fungal infection too if you already have it handy.
