Default M. auratus missing tail

Hau kolas..

Question for the experts..had a two-inch female M. auratus get pretty
thoroughly torn up by a larger male M. auratus two days ago..long story
short she has pretty nasty looking fin damage, including most of her tail
fin shredded..parts of it are gone down to the flesh..after seperating her
from the male andobserving her, she still can manuever pretty well, has
balance and tremendous speed, good apetite and in terms of locomotion, shows
no real effect of the attack other than a bit more effort to "hover" than
normal. Assuming I can stave off primary and secondary infections resulting
from the injuries, and her ability to manuever remains strong, generally
speaking what kind of time frame (in a perfect world) should it take to
"regenerate" the caudal fin of such a fish? Any treatment (that the group
has real world experience with) that would hasten this?
