Aro pectoral fin broke

[Vitor]

hi all

i accidentally due to mis handling, broke my aro pectoral fin at the tip.
abt 1/5 at the tip.
u can see its broken, but still hanging on.

i know will heal back or grow back.
should i tear if off? or will it drop off when it grow? or will heal back?

anyone had this before?

aro is swimming ok

Here it goes

Lower water 1/2 tank.
Use a big bag, catch it .
Lower water in bag.
1 press of transmore
Fish upside down in abt 1 min
Catch out using cloth for grip.

Put on floor with big towel.
Cut.
Then put back tank.
Done!

Bro, wish ur aro recover soon after the ops.

One thing got to mention, when doing operation on the aro, try not to remove the fish from bag to towel.

There are 2 disadvantages for this act:

1. Risk to shift the aro from bag to towel as the aro may struggle dring the shifting procedure, aro may drop on the floor to cause further harm.

2. When you place the aro on the towel, the towel will cause the lost of slime coat on the aro body. This is rather harmful to the fish.

In fact, almost all kind of aro operation can be done within the bag.

Another poknt to take note, you got to starvate the aro at least 3 days before any operation.

i will take note.

i make sure the fish v daze before i take out.
i using towel becoz bare hands v slippery. so more grip.
i doing the op on floor as read that even if it struggle, will not drop more except still on floor. minimize chances of dropping.

lost of slim rather on dirty floor / hard surface . i chose the 1st.
read that avoid fish put in transmore solution too long thus most i see is take fish out of water.

before the aro , i think got internal parasite. didnt eat like a few days liao.
i using parizol gold treatment w salt water heater treatment. white yellow stringy poo.
but aro is still swimming quite strong.

after the opt, abt 2 hrs later swimming good, i feed MP w Aqua clear powder,
ate 2 small pcs of mp liao. today morning saw it swimming normally before i left for work.

so quite relieved. 1st time opt. so v inexperience. but just follow steps to be careful.

Bro Vitor, actually for this minor broke you don't have to do anything. It will grow back quite nicely within a month or so.

ya i did consider , its like broken but half half like that, thus if grow back might highly be distorted.

so i trim it, again regrow back might not be balance both side.
and i rather it curve diff abit than like additional elbow look.
hmmmmmm

hope that it grow fine.
