yay! bettas tail is growing back!

i bought a crowntail betta a few weeks ago and part of its tail had been damaged, but looked as if it was trying to grow back. it was about 1/4" long. well, today i looked at him again and his tail is at least 1/8" longer. its now exactly half as long as the rest of his tail that is undamaged. it was shorter than that when i bought him.

That's good to hear. I had this Butterfly Koi that was infected by some bacteri that ate his fins. He was left with only a chunck of its pectoral, ventral and caudal fin, but now they have regrown to its magnificient shape.

Do you know what caused the damage to the fins?

Mine regrew his, a couple of times. If your's hasn't yet, the color gets more vibrant with time.

no, i dont know how it was damaged. i bought him 3 weeks ago and his tail was already starting to grow back when i got him. i knew it was damaged when i got him but my husband insisted we get him anyway.
