Fin Rot Question

[solmartin]

ok - my comet is going through treatment for fin rot and is almost done. The part of the fins that were affected has fallen off now - will it ever grow back? Also, there's a little black on the bottom of his tail. That's should turn white and fall off right?

I'm not sure about the black spot, but the fins will grow back.

The black spot on your goldfish is where it is healing. Usually, you see this when goldfish have been swimming in high amounts of ammonia. Which goldfish produce in huge amounts!

It should heal on its own. You could treat with Melafix which is a surface antiseptic.

Yes fins will grow back may take some time...if you would like to speed up the process you could add a bit of melafix however it should recover just make sure of frequent water changes so that it doens't get infected again
