I own 5 Siren Lacterinas and i've had them in a bare bottom tank for about 3 months now. I originally had 6 but one of them was biting the limbs off the tank mates so i currently only have one siren with its limbs. I was wondering how long regeneration of the limbs usually takes? I'm currently documenting their growth and how long it takes till they grow them back but i have no idea how long that will take so if anyone has any knowledge on this i would greatly appreciate it.
 
My S. intermedia with the same problem regenerated its limbs in about 2 or 3 months, if I remember correctly. I'm sure diet, water quality, temperature, age, and stress level can all impact the healing rate, and there's no definite "now it's all better" moment; the limbs just slowly look more and more whole.
