Will my Panda Cory regrow his dorsal fin?

Post by RWC »

I had a school of semi-agressive Tiger Barbs when I started my tank about 2 months ago. I had some ammonia problems which have since been corrected, but it killed all the Tiger Barbs except one. The one remaining is even more aggressive now that he's alone. He's been nipping at the fins of my female bettas and recently ripped off nearly all of my Panda Cory's doral fin. Will this grow back? He's swimming ok but is not as confident as he used to be. Should I get rid of the Tiger Barb?

Yes - tiger barbs are notorious nippers & he/she should be rehomed.

The fin should grow back - i presume it is the soft finnage - this is comparable to a broken finger nail.
