FIN mutalation By evil yellow lab 1 year, 10 months ago #103782

Soooooooo i just got back from a week vacation and although my mom was feeding my fish i guess she didnt realize my yellow lab attacking my other fish so anyways long story short they have nipped fins my oscar has somewhat of a split tale not to bad and the rest jsut have cuts on their fins i was just wondering how long do you guys think it would take for all of it to grow back im using T.C. tetracyline to to treat it

Normally, fins grow back fairly quickly if the water is in good condition

A couple of weeks their fins should be back in order ...plenty of good food will help + water condition as penn says.

nothing to add except that nipper should be out for a while or
else it will keep on nipping an injure fish.... or you move the o
to another tank to recover.

As said the fins will heal, however you need to remove the nipper or it will happen again. If a fin gets nipped away completely to the 'root' it wont grow back

I'm glad everyone is saying fins will grow back because my rescue oscar (he got dumped at the pet shop) has little chunks of his dorsal fin missing
