It should grow back keep the water as clean as possible.
Bichirs like most fish have paired nostrils the visible ''tubes'' are called nares there is a second set of paired nostrils hard to see are called
choanae.The water is drawn in thru the nares and passes thru the olfactory cells in the nasal sac detect tiny amounts of chemicals in solution.
it is then pumped out by muscle action thru the choanes.there is no connection to the throat.-Anne
