Damage to the fins is the first sign of bad (putrid)water. The fish will get very sick with gill and scale damage next and if you do nothing the fish will die. You urgently need to do a few major (at least 70%) water changes ASAP. Goldfish need a minimum of 1 gallon of water per 1 inch of body length. Even given a nicely set up, properly filtered, planted, well lit aquarium, they should also have at least 50% of their water replaced each week.

The tail will repair itself provided the fish is kept in good clean water and is fed and housed correctly.

First off all why would you grab its tail. Well I did it once and its tail fell of. The fish died and I had to deal with a crying two year old
