1. if the fin is broken, will it grow?

If the fin is broken, it will grow. As long as it is not a pathological change, it will be no problem. There are many reasons for fin breakage, usually because the fish fight, mixed fish of different sizes, or some species are more aggressive, put together will cause the fin to be bitten off, for this situation, the best solution is to isolate the fish, to avoid secondary injury. In addition, the deterioration of water quality and the decay of fish fins can also lead to breakage. At this time, the fish disease should be treated first, and the fins will not recover until they are cured.

2. What is the use

of fins? 1. Providing power: For fish, the main function of fins is to provide power, especially the tail fin, which can swim fast in the water by swinging the tail fin. In addition to the caudal fin, some fish also rely on the dorsal fin to move them forward, such as seahorses.

2. Be responsible for turning: When a fish swims in the water, it needs to change direction through its fins. If you change direction from left to right, you need to rely on swinging the tail fin, and when you change direction from up to down, you need to rely on the anal fin. If the tail fin is lost, the fish will only be able to move forward and not turn.

3. Maintain balance: The most important function of the fin is to maintain balance. Whether it is pectoral fin, pelvic fin, dorsal fin or anal fin, the loss of any one will make it sway from side to side when swimming, so we must avoid fin damage.

4. Reduce the swimming speed: When the fish needs to brake when swimming at high speed, the pectoral fin can also play a role in slowing down. It is similar to an oar, which can make the fish stop quickly.
