Will a ghost knife fish tail grow back after being chomped off?

Fish can regrow fins (they never quite look the same, but they do regrow, usually pretty fast if your water quality is good and there is no complication with either fungal or bacterial infection). They cannot, however, regrow body parts. If part of the ghost knife fish's tail as well as 'fin' has been chomped off, it can heal, but will never regrow.

Do worms regenerate?

An earthworm can regenerate its head and its tail. An example is, if you go dig a earthworm out from the ground and chop it in half then its head will grow a new tail and the tail will grow a new head. Eventually there would be two earthworms. If you cut an earthworm into four piece's then after a few weeks or even months there would be four earthworms. So if you think that if you cut an earthworm you are killing it you are wrong. But if you cut an earthworm into too many piece's, example twelve then you will kill the worm, and after that there is no way to bring it back to life.


When I cut a worm in half how long does it take to regrow?

Will a fish die without its tail?

Techically no, but it depends on how it lost the tail. 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...
