Clown Loach dorsal fin ripped off

[Bigtdotcom]

I have 3 little clowns that have been kept seperate from my main tank with a divider. Came home today and one little guys was in the main section of the tank with a couple of cichlids. Next thing I notice is the clown is back in the divided section and is now missing his dorsal fin and a chunk of flesh from his back. He seems ok, he ate some blood worms but isn't swimming quite right. What's are his chances ? If he pulls through will his fin grow back?

His fin is never going to grow back.

the wound will heal over but he'll be minus his dorsal.

Would it be worth him and my other clowns in to my 5 gal betta tank? Or would that be to small? I don't wann add any extra stress to him but will
Prob be safer for all of them while I fatten them up.

too small. secure your divider better, or get rid of cichlids because they are the bane of the fishing keeping hobby as is lol.
