Yes they can regrow. We had a one inch fantail goldfish who had its tail and most of its fins eaten off. When we found it half dead at the bottom of the aquarium - we placed it in a separate bowl by itself to await its death. To our surprise, it stayed alive and began to regrow its tail. To make a long story short - it lived another SEVEN YEARS. Fat Albert ( as we called him) was approximately six inches long when he died and required a separate 20 gallon tank to accommodate his size. So - don't give up yet!

First, Is the aggressive fish nonetheless in the tank??? no remember if that's get it out.

Yes,with very clean water,good nutrition,maybe a little medication if you have a quarantine tank. And of course seperation from the fish that bit off the fins in the first place. Don't medicate all of the fish to cure one. The fish will probably recover without medication if it gets everything else,if it doesn't the meds won't help either. Good luck. PeeTee
