Angelfish Pectoral Streamers?

[reppo13]

I just got my golden angel from DD and looks stunning from all angles but I have one question. On all the dwarfs I've owned they have pectoral fin streamers. I want to know what is the regrowth time of said streamers, because my angel has full growth on his right pec and little to none on the left. Is it a torn fin that will grow back?

Do you mean pelvic fin? The pectoral fins (behind the operculum) is usually rounded.

Yes thats the fin but on dwarf angels they split at the ends into two streamers. How fast will it grow back?

Assuming you mean the pelvic fins (Im still a little confused by your response), they do sometimes lead to a longer filament, but I would say they "split" to streamers. DO you have a pic as to what your referring? Either yours, or one off google? Im sorry, btu I dont understand what your asking.

I think he is referring to the pelvic fins, can see them pretty well in this pic of my Venustus.

And if you look closely at my golden, you can see it against its body.

On the tip of the pelvic fins its split into two short streamers. My golden has the same thing but longer. I just want to know how fast it grows back?

Yes Todd thats what I'm getting at. Any ideas on growth?

I would think as long as it the "cut" part of the fin isn't too high up it would grow back. The reason I think that there is a limit of how high up is because many years ago I had a purple tang (( yes a totally different fish, but the only time I have noticed it )) that had one that wouldn't grow back. It was pretty "high" up, so I have a feeling that was the reason it didn't grow back.

I looked at the old pictures of both those dwarfs and they had them when they came from DD.

Ok, so there is no "split", correct? Its the edge of the fin. I believe that has a ray in it, and it not a soft streamers, so depending on the injury or removal, it may not grow back.

Its at the edge of the fin and it has it on both sides its just that one is much shorter than the other and I just want to know how long it will take to grow out to the same length.
