My goldfish bred this summer in my pond and as I moved the babies back to the big pond one of the adults ate the tail off one baby. It is alive and seems to be in better spirits(moving around more) ok my question Is what can I do for this baby he can not go horizontal. So he swims nose down and well resets nose down in gravel. Will his tail grow back? If not is there some who can make a tiny fin for his comfort? I would hate to have to put him down after surviving the trauma and shock. He is now the size of a guppy minus the tail :(
 
Thank you. I love these guys like my dogs and cats
