I just got a shipment of 3 butterfly and 1 ranchu in from Daddy Orandas lasy week. I had 4 regular telescopes, I kept them separate. I had to put all the goldfish together two days ago. Well like the title says, the male black moor ripped the fins of all the goldfish including the ones that had always been in the tank with him. The only fish is the undamaged is the ranchu and of course the male moor.
Since these are my first quality goldfish, will the fins grow back beautifully or not? :youtellme:
they should grow back but may not be as nice as originally before the damage. you need to watch out that secondary infection like fungus sets in. keep your water very clean with lots of water changes. the moor was probably a male and was attemtping to breed with the butterflys. butterflys can be a bit delicate. i would keep them by themselves or with bubble eyes and celestrials. if you have pictures i would like to see these fish as i am very big fan of kens fish
Cincy Ranchu

You should be fine, keep the water clean, do you get any eggs? Loose any eyes?

All eyes intact. No eggs. If there were, they have been eaten. Bare bottom tank.
Here are pics and video of the goldfish before they were shredded.
