Just went to feed "BlueStar", and noticed that one of his pectoral fins is ripped. In fact, the piece is hanging off. It's right in the middle of the fin.

I think I know the culprit.........One of the plants.......That will be removed today............

Anything special to do or look out for? About how long does it take to heal a fin? He's swimming a little funny...:(

The fin should heal within 4-5 days. Make sure the water quality is kept up, and that any tankmates leave him alone (though it sounds like he may be by himself--much safer!). If the fin does not begin to heal, examine the fin for signs of infection.
