Two days ago I was watching one of my tanks, and saw two of the platies get into a row. One of them got a dorsal fin split to the base from this "fight". Today I was watching them and the fin is completely healed. You wouldn't know that it was freshly split all the way through just a few days ago.
Isn't it amazing how fast fish can heal?

Yikes! One of my fancy guppies had his tail fin split by an agressive mickey mouse platy. His fin growing back, but its been way more than 2 weeks. Platy and several fry went to my LFS 2 weeks ago so I wouldn't have to send the offender to a watery grave (just kidding, I made sure they would take them first). I treated with Melafix and Pimafix for 10 days as a precaution against infection.
my angels fight and get spit fins pretty often..all they really need is clean water.
my tanks get 2 30-40% water changes per week. split fins usually don't ast all that long.
my wild angels had ammonia burns on their fins..they are all healed up but it took a couple week. I've seen fish with serious fin damage heal within a few weeks(4-6 in some cases)
