HELP! Angelfish nipped fins

[SwimsWithFish2]

Hello, Tonight during feeding i noticed that part of my cherub angelfishes' caudal fin had been nipped at. The angel has been in the tank for over 3 weeks now with no issues. My clowns have recently started chasing him out of there territory.

specs:
29 biocube
2 occ clowns
1 cherub angel
1 bangaii cardinal

he still eats and swims fine. Will it grow back? What should i do?

Thanks.

The caudal fin should be able to grow back given time. Watch out for bacteria infection during this time.

Will do. The caudal is the tail fin correct?

Bump

This is weird... it looks like part of the fin has grown back in 24 hours?

clowns can be very mean and aggressive...29 is a small tank, and you may continue to have aggression problems from the clown towards the angel....are the clowns breeding? that would really compound the problem...

They aren't mated yet. They're being hosted by a cave. When the angel swims in their territory that's when they get aggressive. Other than that the clowns are nice.

I had a horrible time w the same basic tank \ stock list. Clowns shredded my potters all the time. The Bio load will catch up sooner than latter. I'd ditch the clowns or the angel.

Man I guess I'll ditch a clown.
