Anthony Osmos Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 hi, dont worry i know it can be bad if you lose such a fish but its nipped tail will grow back, to aid it quick recovery add some Melafix as directed and should be fine in a few weeks HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFKA Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 When a fish is still growing IMO unless fins have been bitten right off they tend to grow back pretty well if not completley. BTW where did you end up getting it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFKA Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Also I dont think its a good idea keep a small saratoga or even a larger one with convicts as they are quite agressive and will probably end up killing him either oughtright or by stress.
