C.Julii with no barbels...

Post by grizabella »

Yesterday I bought 9 small Juliis for my 94 gallon Discus tank.
Today they have started to get used to the new tank and come out of hiding and I notice that several of them hasnt got any barbels at all! I think they must have been this way when I bought them, because I can't see a reason this should happen in my tank, no sharp edgeson the gravel or anything. But what to do? Will they grow back? Will the fish be able to eat porperly (or at all) in the meantime? Are they prone to fungus or stuff like that now?

Thanks in advance!
