Yes. The fins and tails are fully regeritive tissue and should grow back virtually scarless, unless the damage is all the way to the base of the tail. There wouldn't be anything for the tail to regrow from. The damage would be permanent...
When i got my fish we named it forktail. Cuz his tail was divided into to parts!
Now, after a little over a year his tail grew together. So it looks regular. Cool right!?
I discovered that my neon tetra fish grew back its tail after it got bitten by another fish. It didn't grow back automatically. Instead, it took a few weeks. I was surprised, because I didn't know fishes can grow back their tail. Maybe not all fishes have that ability.

∙ 14y agoIf you provide good, clean water and enough of it, the fishes tail will grow back. There would have to be a reason for the fish to loose its tail. The most common reason is fin rot (fungus) this is caused by filthy/putrid water. To avoid this happening, there are a few basic fish keeping rules. They are "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. Every fish tank needs a properly cycled filter and every fish tank should have 50% of its water replaced weekly. Follow these rules and your fish will grow back its tail fin and do well.

∙ 14y agoIf the fish is kept in good conditions there is no reason why it should not heal and grow its fins back.
The basic rules for successfull fish keeping are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Betta needs at least 3 gallons) :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank need to have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules your fish stand a chance of living a reasonable life span. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that you will have constant recurring heath problems with your fish.

∙ 14y agoKoi are a pond fish. Provided the fish is in suitable conditions (ie a large, well kept pond) its fins will grow back fairly quickly. If the fish is in any container less than around 100 gallons it will probably die.

∙ 15y agoIf only the tail (Caudal) fin is damaged it can grow back. If the flesh part where the fin actually starts (Caudal peduncle) is damaged then it may well not grow back.

∙ 13y agodepending on the damage generally Yes it can and will. Mammals and humans are the ones with the inherent genetic flaw that prevents us from regrowing lost limbs.
