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.
