Now that the cichlids are gone he remains in my 150 gallon community tank. His fins have regrown to the size of a wild betta’s fins. Now I assume it is probably better for him to have the finnage of a natural betta, also he’s in great health and displays active betta behavior, but will his fins ever grow back to their former glory? P.S. - The same thing has happened to my faintail goldfish, it is currently healthy and happy but will his fins ever return to what they were. original post: June 17, 2007, 12:02 am anonymous 2008-05-03 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=will-the-fins-regrow-#2 posted by me determinator Determinator 2008-05-03 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=will-the-fins-regrow-#3 Definitely yes. Fins will grow to their previous glory again and again. However, it will take some time. I kept bettas, so it is my personal experience. It’s the same for every species; Guppies, Goldfish, Angelfish, Tetras, Cichlids, etc. ... Fins are nipped and then grow back again . But be careful for the next time, because if fish lose too much percentage of it’s fins, it will probably die. jan 2008-05-03 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=will-the-fins-regrow-#4 Thanks a lot, and your right, it is taking a long time. But as long as he’s happy, I’m happy.
