It's very common for collectors/exporters to remove the dorsal fins of male mandarins, to make them appear as if they are females. This is why people often have troubles pairing up mandarins of "different" sex.This is a fairly common injury to mandarins when they are caught. I'm not sure whether they will regrow the dorsal fin or not, but there is a pretty good chance he'll be fine.
