Trimmed My ST Tail.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Can I get an amen?
 
I am glad it worked out, for future reference the tail would of healed on its own, just with time. My dats go threw it all the time, aggression is high the big guys have split tails, when the tank is mellow all the fish are fine.

I have seen this method used with Asian Aros in regard to gill plate curl, they just trim the curl and it grows back to normal.
 
Who trims torn fins in the wild?

It is only people who are uber vein about their show fish that do this regrowth surgery...

I have seen tigers kept in a comm and after they have been sold and kept on their own for a few months the tail grew back fine others even after 1 year the tail was still split

You say who would cut the tail in the wild well it wouldn't happen in the wild as the wild is much bigger than a glass tank

As for knocking the fish out before cutting this is also not needed with tigers as all tigers go completely stiff when removed from the water making them very easy to work with

You done the righ thing by cutting if the tiger was on his own for a long time and it didn't heal then chances are it needed to be cut

Well done
 
I did this with a tigrinus cat a while ago.
