kindasleepy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have three cories, one peppered who still has his whiskers, and two Julliis that are both missing they're whiskers. I have normal smooth gravel in the tank and nothing sharp. It's all plants and driftwood in there. I mentioned it at work and one of my co-workers has the same issue with her panda cories. What would cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaminz Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Barbel erosion, I believe, is I have corys on various different substrates and I really believe the erosion issue is unrelated. I've had some that lost barbels and grown them back, back before I went over to the Salt Side. I'd just step up on the frequency of water changes to keep the water fresh and if the issue persists consider treating with an antibiotic.

kindasleepy Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Barbel erosion. Interesting. I hope they come back, they look a bit odd without them. It's weird that the peppered is ok. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kindasleepy Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh no! That wasn't a "I don't believe this clown" sort of interesting. It was genuinely interesting. I really need to edit myself before I hit the post button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
