M. auratus missing tail
| Scott Far Thunder | 20 Apr 2004 13:26 |
Hau kolas..
Question for the experts..had a two-inch female M. auratus get pretty thoroughly torn up by a larger male M. auratus two days ago..long story short she has pretty nasty looking fin damage, including most of her tail fin shredded..parts of it are gone down to the flesh..after seperating her from the male andobserving her, she still can manuever pretty well, has balance and tremendous speed, good apetite and in terms of locomotion, shows no real effect of the attack other than a bit more effort to "hover" than normal. Assuming I can stave off primary and secondary infections resulting from the injuries, and her ability to manuever remains strong, generally speaking what kind of time frame (in a perfect world) should it take to "regenerate" the caudal fin of such a fish? Any treatment (that the group has real world experience with) that would hasten this?
