yes, but some times imperfectly.
my newest addition to the tank had its fin ripped by the tiger barb. it is torned but not a complete goner.
do they "auto-repaired"?

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

I have guppies recover from fin rot, though once regrown, they dont look as vibrant colored as when i first bought them.
Adding some sea-salt to the water will aid in recovery. This helps fighting off infection. Not much tho.
Good Luck
Actually, it depends. My threadfins stern fin did not grow back as it was too much damage. If it affect the structure of the fins, I dont think it will regrow.Originally Posted by joeyttk

bad news for my golden shark.
it is missing the "upper" portion of the tail fin (i.e. 50% damage)
Not all the time the broken fin/tail will heal.
I've once bought an oto, accidentally snapped the lower tail and it totally gone, left only the upper tail.
The lower tail never managed to grow and my oto looks like a shark instead. I think my oto must be very angry with me
Hi
Your situation seems like my threadfins. The upper tail fin was nipped off and it never grow back. Well, we have to bear with it.

Can perform plastic surgery for the fish ?

ya.. change golden shark to zebra pleco
Melafix is reported to do wonders for regeneration, but I have no personal success with it.
Remember to provide extra aeration if you decide to use it.

The known medication wonder of melafix is over-rated, so to speak.
my fish has finally re-grown new tail fins. luckily, no medication was required
