Hi,
My XBack jumped the other day and broke his pectoral fin. The hard ray has breaking in two, and we can see a bit of blood in there. The two parts are only holding by the "web" tissue.
My XBack is 1.5 year old, about 15 inches. My question is, should I cut the broken hard way part and let it try to regrow it back. Or should I leave heal by itself, as I do not know if the two parts can reattach by themselves, as the broken part is dangling.
I would like answers from exprienced hobbists, those who have encountered this problem or do have a lot of experience with arowanas.
