Injured Clown

[lostmyz]

hello all.. So I came home today and noticed my larger black and white clown not swimming as much as she normally does and after closer inspection it looks like she dislocated her left fin (if thats even possible). She isn't really moving it but as the day has gone on, shes swimming around the tank like its ok. Seldomly she is moving the fin in question. Essentially I want to know if she is going to be ok and eventually use the fin again like before. here are a few picture

Please help

As long as she's still using the fin I think you're fine; just keep a close eye out for the fin not being used. If that happens she could end up getting exhausted & then quit swimming entirely, NOT good.

If you've got heavy flow turn it down a little so the fish doesnt have to swim as hard & can begin to get that fin working 100% !! I'm no expert but had a fish die from a damaged/chewed fin once, still bummed about that one..Keep her fed good & put her food real close so she doesnt have to go far. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

Thanks guys. Yeah shes doing wonderful in the tank now. She still tries to bite me EVERYTIME i go to put a frag in the tank. I try to shoo her away but she comes from the caves haha. But i love her. Here is a link to my build thread.
