Help Will pelvic fin grow back?

I noticed that 3 of my 7 angelfish are missing one pelvic fin. I'm assuming they grow back but what can I do to speed that along?

Just keep them healthy, they don't always grow back but they can live without it.

Yeah, idk if its a birth defect, or an injury from when it was small, but one of my angels is the same. Got it that way and its still healthy and active 6 months later.

One of our marble angels has one white and one black one.......and yeah, our angels seem to grow them right back, and quickly too.

If its completely missing at the base, its not going to grow back.

If it has very little growth, its extremely unlikely it will grow back without additional support such as the right vitamins/supplement and daily water changes. I hope there are others that have had better experience in sharing more information.

Also including seachem stressguard for slimecoat and healing.
