Tail fin regeneration

I have a female yellow labidochromis caeruleus in my tank who has lost
almost her entire tail fin due to aggression from a male yellow lab. I
have isolated her in a small mesh box in the same tank to allow her to
recuperate. I have also been adding Melafix to promote fin growth.
However, it has been almost 2 weeks now and there have been no visible
signs of growth. How long does it usually take for a tail fin to grow
back? The fish seems otherwise pretty healthy and seems to keep
wanting to get out of the mesh box.

FWIW I had a female Blue Acara lose about three quarters of tail fin to a
male Green Terror, about 6 mths ago, It's grown back completely. I think it
took about two months. I put her into another tank with less agressive
fish. She's now back in the 600l Cichlid tank and doing well.
