apisto's tail snipped by puffer fish....

[wee]

today i realized that the tails of both apisto agga were snipped, most propably by the puffer fish not too big a snip but heart pain [] will they grow back?

have taken out the puffer. U can imagine how long i took to hunt for it in a 4' heavily planted tank []

yes definitely will grow back
do a 20-30% water change, add some salt (abt one teaspoon per 40litres)
will help

yes puffers like to do that
its their hobby

had a snakehead that had a big chunk of flesh taken out by a figure-of-8 puffer and died subsequently. so experience with them not so good.. i will only attempt to keep them in species tank now to be safe

yup....i know the trouble puffer can be[] that is why i will only place a puffer if the ram thingy don't work out......
