Fins Regrowing?

[Velvet AciD]

Well this morning I said hello to my tank and found out that one of my longfin leopard danios got beatup in my sleep.

His lower tail fin got completely nipped off. I don't know if this is due to him always picking on the school, or if he got caught in something.

I contained him and saw that his tail wasn't completely ripped off and tht there were still small pieces of fin still sticking out. Will this regrow?

yes, it should do in time, but i had some black widow tetras that used to get pretty big chunks of there skirt bitten off by sumin in the night, and the used to grow back fully in about 2 days

it should, when my jack dempsy got beat up, his tail and pectoral fins were torn to hell, but hes as good as new now (took about a month to heal completely, with meds, but your danio could heal faster.

One of our long-finned danios got nipped recently. I call him Stumpy now. His fin is growing back, though, and he didn't have trouble swimming when it was short. Apparently, as long as there are still fin rays there, it will grow back. If it was bitten off with muscle, it won't grow back.

Add sine Melafix to the tank to help him out. It smells good and fish seem to like it.
