i came home from work and the tail was gone. was removed at about where the dorsal fin (i'm not sure if that's what it is called on an aba) starts. with the tail the aba was probably 7-8". so about 1.5" is gone
you could use some melafix that should help it. it will also calm your fish and if your abas' tail will grow back it will help it grow back faster. it will also help keep any infection from setting in. good luck.
my dinosaour eels #@$% up my gobies all the time I lost about threegobies to disease after their fins were bit off. I've added AQUARIUM SALT to the aquarium for the past two months when ever a fin is bit off and I Haven't lost a goby yet!!

Many plants will tolerate 1 tbs of salt per five gallons but melafix is supposed to be good for that type injury as well. What bit it and can you separate them.

I can put the aba in a baby net but i'm afraid that might stress it out even more. you see i have about 3wpg of light and the aba seems to not care for the light.
about the salt, do amazon plants do well with 1 tbs/5gal?
My female convicts tail was once bit right off by the male after one of their first spawns several months ago, it grew back quick and appears fine. Was told that regrowth might stunt the tails appearance but it looks alright to me. Your Aba Aba should be fine.
