duff Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I was given some fish (platy's) with fin damage. Have quarintined them and have been dosing with melafix. To what extent should I expect the fins to return to,, Especially the pectoral. Do they actually regenerate to original health? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have no experience with platys, but torn pleco fins heal completely within a day or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 You should see their fins return to 98% in about a week assuming nothing else is wrong w. them, and they're in a clean home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super fish Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 if the fin is bitten to the flesh (alot missing) It usually takes very long or never returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
