Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Female | unspayed
I was wondering if Betta fish fins grow back. I had recently made a mistake when putting two male bettas in a divided tank and one of them has a habit of putting his fins through to the other side (since it had previously housed a baby). The result was my more agressive Betta ripping the fins of my first. Should i be worried that my Betta with torn fins will be off balance and won't have his long fins anymore?

As long as the damage is not too severe, they should regrow. Clean water is critical. Use a water conditioner such as StressCoat to aid healing. Be sure to maintain water temperature between 78 F and 80 F.
