  • Banjo catfish regenerating?

    Do the banjos grow fresh fins?

    The other day I noticed one fin had turned completely white and looked sort of stringy, now today it looks great, however,

    I noticed his tail fin <not sure the specific name> has gone and there's the same looking white stringy stuff where it looks like a new one is growing?

    He is not bullied and moves around the tank freely all the time, is this normal or whats going on?

      Looks like an injury. They won't spontaneously drop a fin and regrow one, if that's what you're asking... he was hurt somehow. What else have you got in the tank currently?
      Hopefully it didn't do too much permanent damage, and it'll recover. Just watch for infection. Good luck!

            Just dose some general care and antifungals and you should be good. They are pretty tough, but not very good at defending themselves. Try adding some Indian Almond leaves to any tank they are in for added cover and security.
