FWIW, I have a female M. Cyanaeorhabdos who lost her tail the same way.
It never has come back, but she is fine otherwise and has produced two
batches of fry in the last 6 months. Her name is "Stumpy".

Yeah, I think my yellow lab female is not going to get her tail back
either. I am wondering if I should wait a little longer before
releasing her from her mesh isolation box into the main tank - will
she be able to cope with the male's aggression and be able to get away
with no tail fin?
