Missing Tail???

[Gorny]

Hello all,

One of my diamond tetras got stuck between by breeding net/tank and the glass. When I found him (not sure how long he was there - went to bed and all were fine, woke up the next morning and there he was) he had no tail. I removed him and put him in a small tank (no heater, no filter, plain). He seems to be doing fine, it has been about 6 days. Should I put him back with his tank mates or will they eat him? Will his tail grow back? Please help my tail-less fish.....


specs of tank: 46 gallon
7 diamond tetras (not including the tail-less one)
5 black phantom tetras
1 large pleco

thank you

sounds like he got stuck and the other fish thought of him as a late night snack. his tail should grow backbut it would be a good idea to seperate him from the group in case the others do still see him as lunch.
