short barbels?

Post by F3-RapalaAngler »

I picked up two albino corydoras to go with my 7 pygmy cory catfish and when examining the albino corydoras closer I see they're barbels aren't very long. Kinda short for their size. How can I fix this?

Keep them on smooth sand not gravel. Treat with Melafix. Keep a close eye for spreading bacterial infection. If all is well they should re-grow :)
