Hi All,

I have 4 Silver Dollars that I used as dither fish. They are now full grown and the the cichlids that used to harass them have gone on to a better place.

I like the silver dollars lot, however they have noticable fin damage were they have been nipped all over. It has been this way for about a year. I was expecting the fins to grow back, at least a little but I haven't seen anything.

Will the fins grow back?
Is there anything I should be doing to encourage the regrowth?

TIA,

Keep them healthy and the tank clean and the fins should grow back fairly quickly. Fins are made to grow back quick. It is possible that the nerves that lead to the fins are damaged, in which case the fins will look a little ragged, but they should be fine if they're not getting picked on anymore.
