my pbb lost a arm

[Keemofish4ever]

i dont know what its called but by pbb lost a arm fin and it really sucks so im wondering is it possible if it will ever grow back and if so what i can do too help

I would do a few extra water changes this week. Throw in maybe some melafix (not a lot of people use it)? Or maybe a little bit of aquarium salt

And yes it will grow back. I had an endli lose one of his fins. I think my pbb was the one to take it. what happened?

It should grow back, just make sure it dont get infected.

Scientific research was conducted that a severed pelvic fin will fully regenerate. What happened? Who is the culprit?

Also, I'm new to the hobby. What is that. A CB or wild pbb

the culprit was probably a hungry endli but too many fish to know from never had a problem till now... i bought it as a wild pbb so hopefully it is haha

Yeah fin should come back. Just keep water clean to prevent infections. And looks CB PBB to me.

Double or triple up on water changes keep it pristine and add some AQ salt.

What is the stocklist for the tank it was in ?
