I would reccomend using melafix, better be safe than sorry. I have heard that if the "rays" in the fins were gone that they cant grow back, but mine lost majority of its tail fin and it all came back normal. If you can move him to another tank, or get him away from the other tetras so they wont do it again while he's tryin to get better.
