ornate bichir missing right fin.

[MANGCH1]

i went to the lfs today and saw a small ornate at like 3 inches tops with the tail. but he was missing his right fin. not a piece but the whole thing. i was wondering if this was gonna grow back or if its gone forever?

my guess is if the whole thing is missing its not comming back, but if its bitten off to the stump, at least something is remaining and it may be able to regenerate.

Ne 1 else think differently?

anyone?

it's hard to say. if it's just the fins, then it should grow back. but if part of the muscles are gone then i don't think it'll grow back.

how do you know if its part of the muscle?
nice ornate in your avatar. i dunno where they put my avatar -_-

If there's a big chunk missing where the fins should be connected to. Wasn't your avatar the jessica alba one? I think they censored it lol.
