    I have a Longfin Bannerfish that I recently moved from my qt tank to my dt. Apparently I should have treated it for ich even though it wasn't showing any signs of ich. Long story short I had to move all my fish back to qt. In the process the Longfin Bannerfish's banner broke(dorsal fin) about 1/2 way up. Should I remove the broken part or will it fall off on its own? Also will it grow back? Thanks for any advice.

    Sure it will grow back. Don't pull it off. Let nature take it's course. Keep your water parameters in line. Make sure you are feeding properly and adding the vitamins and HUFA's as well. Before you know it, the banner will be back.
