Just noticed today that my fire fish lost his "top" fin. Not sure if the clown bite it off or the filter got it. Will this grow back?? he seems to be fine otherwise, and I haven't noticed the two fish "fighting"

here is another pic it miss something in org. post
 
I don't think it will..i think there is a little bone in it,which looks to be missing....i may be wrong on that,but i don't think it will regrow ...still a cool little fish though
 
It might, it is a fin and fins do get beat up. I would keep an eye on it and if he seems to be swimming and eating fine, I wouldnt worry too much either way.
 
Firefish get that little fin broken and pulled off quiet a bit.It will grow with time,so no worries.
 
Guess i learned something too:D,never had one so i wasn't sure if it was like a little trigger on a trigger:lol:
 
Mine fought with another firefish. The mean one nipped the other's dorsal completely off like yours. It grew back completely within a few months. Just keep your water quality up. Could one of the other fish have nipped it?
 
When I bought mine a few months ago, all three were missing their top fin, but now, you can't even tell it was ever missing...so yeah, it'll grow back.
