My poor black fan tail ,after being put inside for the winter , I notic

his whole one half of his fat body must have been sucked to the pond
filter for a time.Now his fins are only half there .His front one just
a
stub.He still eats and swims,mostly in circles.Does'nt seem to be stres

at all.Should I salt or use Melafix,,something for a while? Will these

fins grow back a bit?

plastic baskets. Close them like clamshells with the pump inside. Cut a
"just right" hole for the hose and cord.
