new fishes!

[dead_letters]

I bought 3 new fish.a black moor,a goldfish and a shubinkin.The goldfish and shubunkin have both got missing fins.Will they grow back? ive had fish that have been attacked and lost fins before but these are new and i dont know weather disease have caused the fin loss.

Whole fins gone? Which fins? Sounds like a parasitic or bacterial infection in which case you shouldn't have brought them. If this is the case you will need to identify the disease and treat the tank and if possible issolate the infected fish.

On both of the fish 1 of the first front fins have gone.I dont know what they're called but they are the ones they use to move with.I cant see any marks or anything where it looks like there is any disease.The goldfish looks like his is growing back.I did'nt know they were like this when i bought them but if they die im going to complain to them.The tank they were in looked clean and the rest of the fish looked healthy,My fish do apart from missing fins.I was wondering that being really tiny because they are only about 2cm big i was wondering if they were just growing there fins? or does that make me sound silly.lol.

Well, theres not much you can do except wait and see I am afraid. If you spot any signs of disease begin treatment, if not you'll have to see if they grow back or if the fish is deformed.
