Doc bubut! will it grow back? The aro is just 9-10 inches. I hope it will not die? ^^

Yup Patrick.It will grow back.It may take a couple of days or weeks if the size of the caudal fin injury is bigger.Juvenile arowanas usually heal faster than adult arowanas but they all grow back and their injuries definitely will heal.My last Asian green arowana also suffered a similar injury in his caudal fin when he was bullied(Bitten)by my huge royal knife fish.My green arowana's caudal fin was severely damaged(60 to 70%)was lost including damages to his pectoral, A N A L and dorsal fins.All his injuries healed although he fully recovered from his caudal fin injury after 2 months since my green arowana is much much older than your juvenile Asian green arowana.Just treat it with Rid all aro special to prevent infection and to hasten recovery.
Thanks doc! The problem is all the stores are close now! ^%^%$^%^ haha.. Will try to go to drugstore to buy tetracycline antibiotic like chief angel advised. Are there any chance of death with this kind of problem?

Only if it gets infected by bacteria or fungus or if the arowana gets stressed by his wound and new environment since we know that stress will lower the arowana's resistance to diseases.If you have a heater in your tank you can set it at 30degrees centigrade to increase the metabolic rate of your fish thereby enhancing its immune response and the healing process as well.
Thanks doc.. really appreciate it! I already put the antibiotic.. oh well 2 mos waiting.. It really hurts seeing aro with no tail 
but nonetheless sh*t happens..
but nonetheless sh*t happens..
IF youre going to do 10 you might as well do 20% just be careful not to stress the fish to much. He should be fine.
