Glass Cat Barbel Regrowth? Tankmates ok?

I just got 5 of these guys, and their barbels seem to have been somewhat damaged between the store's tank and mine, not completely gone, but they're kind of uneven lengths, and one looked like it was bent in half... I know catfish barbels are generally supposed to grow back okay over time, is it the same for the glass cats (Kryptopterus minor)?

I'm keeping them in a 10 gallon tank with 5 neon tetras, an x-ray tetra, and a male Betta. Everybody seems to be getting along okay so far, the neon tetras and glass cats even shoal together occasionally. Anybody foresee any problems here, though?
