how to increase speed of tail fin regeneration

[Carpintis Keeper]

i got 2 FH from nearest LFS ,one of them had a tail fin damage (nearly half fin is gone from back portion which i know can fully regenerate) and itch both at same time.So,i gave it salt bath treatment for nearly 2 days and itch healed up but now i think that the tail fin regeneration has stopped because of energy diversion in itch recovery.so,is there any way to speed it up.I do water change every 2 days and nearly 25% water is changed once but temp. is a bit on cooler side due to india's weather being cold at this time so how do i know if it is healing or not.will tetracyline work for it.

Just continue the heat and salt, really. And water changes, people suggest melafix as well but I personally don't bother.

Bloodworms have no nutritional value. Feed pretty much anything but.

Bloodworms have no nutritional value.

That would be false. While bloodworms do not have an ideal nutrient profile (they are lacking in certain amino acids) they most certainly do have some nutritional value in both protein, and fatty acid content.

Having said that, I would never recommend feeding bloodworms exclusively to a fish, especially one that is recovering from major fin damage.
