Injured Upsidedown Cat

[Chris0422]

When I got my new upsidedown cat home its pectoral fin (largest fin on its side) was through the bag. I had to shake him out. It now looks like half his fin is gone, he has a half fin with a white point coming out. Anyone else have this happen? Had fish recover? Mine seems OK swims OK.

I'd keep an eye on him. If any other fish are nipping or he's not swimming right than you should be worried. If not than the chances are it'll heal fine.

I still have no idea what actually happened, but one of my 11 Synodontis nigriventris group lost all but the stump of both of its pectoral fins over a year ago. The stumps have a grown a little since, but otherwise the catfish is doing fine.

I would say that mine has a stump now. I've had him about a week and he seems fine.
