I bought an Albino cory cat from my LFS a few days ago. Only one they had and when I spotted him I could only see his head. He's fairly young only about 1 1/2 inches long. After I got him in my tank I noticed about half of his tail fin missing. Mostly the clear portion of the fin. He seems to be doing fine. He takes a breather every once in a while from swimming hard, he's pretty active. I was wondering if it will grow back completely. It seems as some has already grown back.

Tank info:

Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrites: 0 ppm
Nitrates: 20 ppm
PH: 6.8

20H aquarium with an Aqueon power filter. Marineland 900 powerhead. Lots of live plants and rocks to hide under. 46 watts of 65k CFL lighting.
 
I have one of those who lost his dorsal fin somewhere and it never grew back. But he doesn't seem to miss it and the pair has spawned twice that I know of.
