Can platy fry grow back fins that have been bitten?

I’ve been raising fry for a little bit and my oldest survivor of the batch (1 month) has been swimming strange. Upon closer inspection, her tailfin has a couple bites taken out of it. I think this happened when my betta managed to break into my breeding net.
Will the fin grow back? I know they normally regenerate for adult platies but do fry have that ability? Anything I can do to speed up the recovery?
Pristine water parameters and fry have been moved to more secure location. A little aquarium salt, tank heated at 78F.

Yes they will grow back and they will be normal like the other platies and you can buy melafix or something like that to improve growth so that it doesn’t get infected.
Every fish can grow their fins back my goldfish was bitten and after one month her tail grew back and it was more beautiful than the one before i am telling you don’t worry it will grow back in a month but if you take really good care of it it will grow even faster.I hope i helped good luck.
