Quick question my fellow GG collectors. My GG had one of its streamers bitten off :irked: Its been over a month now and nothing has grown back. Do these things grow back really slow, or am I just out of luck?

Normally they grow back, a month is a long time though but they are slow to grow

I think u r out of luck because mine has had one broke for 4 months and all she has is a stub.

Yep, they are fins... weirdly evolved... :)

They should grow back alright...but that's a very slow process... for mine, it took about 3 months to grow back...

Hmmm...., I would say that it depends on how far up the anal fin was clipped/bitten off, if it's close to the tip (plus was there ever any infection) - say within an inch or two of the tip, yeah it will grow back. But the closer it is to the body or to the bony structure, (or if there was infection) the less likely it is too grow back. One of my males has a ripped dorsel fin, it's been that way since the first big battle that he lost with the other male, approx 2 ~2.5yrs ago.

Man. It got bitten off right at the nub. Looks like she will only have 1 streamer. :(
