Will Fish Fins Grow Back?

[Loonebin]

I just wanted to know if fins can grow back. For some reason all of my fish have come down with fin and tail rot. Nothing in the tank has changed, water quality is excellent and I quarantine all fish. My Achilles Tang has lost almost half of his pectoral fins as well as my skunk clown. And during all of this I lost a black tang, do not know why. I have started treatment with Melafix and the rot has seemed to stopped. Can anyone help me with this, or provide some advice or past experience?

Well if the fin is to the point of exposing the skeleton formation, then that would be very hard to regenerate.as for the thin"fin material" if that is lost then give it a few month or even weeks and it will grow back!

of course the fins will grow back in time! unless they are so far gone as to the bone.... but yes, they will come back!

Great thank you, It does appear that the fins have stopped deteriorating by dosing the melafix.
