Broken Fin

[docjones]

Ok, so I got a Lion Fish today, bought him during lunch and picked him up after work. Well, when I got home, let him get acclimated via slow drip and final dumped him in I found he has a broken fin (think it is a dorsal). If you look at the pick you can see it. So what should I do? I don't want him to be in pain, but I don't know exactly how to handle it. Any advice would be great, thanks.

He will be fine and it will grow back. It happens ocassionally. Nothing to worry about

No biggie-
if its just the fin rays and associated tissue, it'll grow back. If the ray is broken at the body, it might not grow back, but honestly on a P Volitans, a dorsal is just for show
