Bad mix - damaged caudal fin

[Charney]

I the other day I combined my endi with my Lapradei. The endi is about 10 inches the Lap is eight. As you can probably guess they did not mix well. The endi ripped/bit off the bottom two/three rays of the Laps caudal (tail) fin. Will this grow back? My guess is no, but wanted to hear from some one that might know.

Thanks

don't worry it'll grow back.

It'll definitely grow back, clean water and melafix/pimafix will help.

I've had bichirs with almost their entire tail fins ripped off and shredded, all grew back fine.

if it can cause cancer to humans, yea its bad (if you use it everytime a fish gets damaged).

clean water, good varied diet with quality nutrition, (maybe alittle salt).

thats all you need, meds should be your last option, not your first.

bad for who? the fish or the human? i doubt it'll pose any danger to either one though. you'll probably have to be exposed to high concentration of the stuff for long periods of time before you or your fish might develop cancer. i'm not even sure fish can get cancer. i'm not even sure scientists know the real cause of cancer cause if they did they would have found a cure by now lol.
