Yeah so I put my goldfish in with my bigger fish and the bigger fish was chasing my goldfish. I figured it wouldnt hurt because he couldnt get him. But now my goldfish's tail is all torn up from the bigger fish biting it. Will the tail repair itself? Will it grow more cells so it wont be torn? Or will it be torn forever?
