hi pigeon,

you can afford to trim it all the way back and just a millimeter in... will grow more evenly otherwise there will still be a break...

baby's good fish handling tip.
plan carefully. a soft damp cloth on a flat surface[chopping board? hehe] cover head and gills area. stretch the soft rays and use a sharp cutter to make a straight cut.

baby, jamur in this case you mean fungus?

i'd say for operation like this we should be more worried about bacterial infection[fin rot] than fungus.[if fin rot then back to square one! nye nyear!]

i'd stick to acriflavine and put a little salt in the water...
