Fin damage!

Silverfish · 2010-08-01 13:44:31

One of our fish has splits in his fin. He's quite adventurous and likes trying to squeeze in places he shouldn't be, and we think he did this swimming sideways under a reefy rock thing. It doesn't seem to be affecting his swimming. Will it repair itself or regrow? He posed for a pic:

It'll repair in no time at all. Just keep an eye that it's not caused by aggression. It certainly doen't look like fin rot anyway.

Yeah, eh, that was a bit miraculous, it's actually healed all the way now apart from a tiny piece at the tip.

Panic over!
