This is a pic from the online retailer who sold it to me. That’s why it’s in a strainer. I guess that’s how they get a pic of them to send. They were bagging him up for shipping.Why's the poor guy in a strainer?
Fish can usually regrow damaged fins, provided the base of the fin ray isn't destroyed. He should grow 'em back.

Thanks! I have a female also. She is much smaller than the male and has nice little streamers.I have had several breastspot swallowtails. Unfortunately, while my female has been with me for years now, I never seem to have great luck with the males. Probably just my tank though. I can confirm that the streamers will grow back. These are easily my favorite fish, super active, good personalities, really a beautiful fish male or female, and model tank citizens. I would never have a tank without one again. I find feeding more frequently a varied diet produces the longest streamers. At one point the female's streamers were 1/3 of her total length.
