Will a pectoral fin on a Spotted Raphael grow back?

I went shopping for plants one day. As I put these plants into my aquarium I noticed that one of my plants was coming out of its pot. I kept on trying to put it back in its place. A week later, I noticed a new addition to my tank! He had traveled from the pet store to my tank through the pot.A Spotted Raphael! I was scared out of my wits! But I recently noticed that it is completely missing a pectoral fin. Will it grow back? I will house the fish for a week but then I have to donate it to a local pet store. I only have a 10 gallon tank and it already houses 6 white cloud minnows 4 cherry barb, and 2 glass shrimp. I don't have room for such a big fish.

    it depends on if there is any part of the fin left, if it ts totally gone and there is no trece of it, then its prob a old injury and has already heeled, it there is part of the fin left then it can grow back but may not be a normal fin it an be discolored or odd shaped

    It may but it will be a long time. The only problem is he may eat the shrimp.
