The local Petco gave me this little girl after a tankmate decided her tail would make a tasty lunch... I've had her since she was just a little bitty baby

her tail was completely gone, and I didn't really expect her to regrow it... but she has! It's colored differently than the rest of her, but the regrown tail even has the little lammelae gripper pad on the end!

Now, I know that cresties don't normally regenerate their tails, and I was assuming that gargs wouldn't, since they're in the same family. Does anybody know if there are other people out there that have seen regrown tails on gargs?

Gargoyles can and do regenerate tails. Usually it is quite sparse and small in the ones that I have seen. Yours little one's looks especially well formed, I have to say, save for that tell tale thin tip that regen gargs get I wouldn't have necessarily jumped to "lost tail" when seeing it.

But yes, to confirm your question, cresties do not regenerate their tails, but for some reason gargoyles do regenerate.

Cute to boot!

thanks

she is a real cutie... when I get home, I'll have to post some more pictures of her. Those two were the only I had on my photobucket account, but I've got some shots that really show how well her tail regrew!
