Ive had some problems lately in my largest tank, my 11" female jag was acting kind of weird and I noticed the entire right pectoral fin is completely gone. No not just holding it to its side. Its gone. Theres a very small fresh rounded bump there now and shes got some clear slime coming off of her. Not a lot but you can see it. I have no idea who she fought, shes in a mixed 270 with a dozen large cichlids. Shes been hanging out now to herself and doesnt look like she going to fight anytime soon. Can a completely gone side fin grow back at her size?

I don't think it's gonna grow back. I've had cichlids at large sizes have horribly shredded fins grow back with time but once the entire thing has been removed its never grown back.

My biggest problem now we'll see if shell be able to hold her ground in there. All my cichlids are around the same size. I broke my largest clay pot in half and shes using it in her favorite back corner. Im hoping that will help her, shes backed into keeping her face at the entrance. Do you think shell be able to stand her ground still?
