livebearer_breeder Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 well if theres no internal damage, and she can get access to food like you say, i think the fin will grow back, is her back bent? then where talking about a bigger problem, right know i suggest some melafix, it helps to repair damaged fins, when you come to pick up the stuff on sunday i will give you some.
