Hi, I just bought 2 GSP and I noticed that both of them have their tails and fins bitten, do these grow again or will they stay all bitten??

They will likely re-grow completely...make sure to keep your water quality pristine to avoid a secondary infection. Are you keeping them in brackish water? What size tank, water parameters?

They're in a FW tank at the moment, I will begin to turn it into BW, the tank size is a 10 gal. until the bigger one is ready the ph is 7.0

I think that thwy will grow back. I bought my F8 with a bit of a nipped fin and it has grown back now.

be sure to make the change slowly, durring water changes. Eventually these 2 will need full SW and a tank of 60 gallons at least.

You can always add a little Melafix to the tank - if the fins are really torn up. It will speed up the recovery and help to make sure no secondary infections set in.
