Does the tail and scale grow back in time?

Hello. My fantail goldfish got "sucked" by the powerhead for like 15 mins. The tail is slightly shredded and a vey small part of the scale is removed. The fish is very active and no sign of it being unwell. Does the tail and scale grow back in time?

yes it will grow back.

It's very important to keep the water clean (zero ammonia, zero nitrite, low nitrates) to prevent any infection or added stress.
Clean water alone can heal the fish.

But some aquarium salt and melafix will help speed up the process
