Broken fins

Hi everyone
Just noticed my black angel ( Nylon ) has broken it's right pectoral fin in half.
Will I need to do anything to keep it healthy or stop infection ?
Will it grow again ?
Thanks in advance

Just keep the water clean and use some sort of stress coat. My black angelfish gets beaten up once a month by his mate. His fins always grow back in time for her to ruin them again.

Ditto. Clean water and it'll recover splendidly!

A drop or 2 of garlic juice added to the water daily would help also. If you can buy Garlic Guard or a similiar product, I'd use that but you can also press garlic yourself to get fresh juice.

Liquid vitamins daily is good too.

Daily water changes are part of our treatment plan for torn/damaged fins. About 25-50% daily.

You will need to be prepared that is for sure. Angels are much more aggressive than I ever expected.

I'll keep that in mind.
