Catfish Query

[mhancock]

One of my glass catfish has lost one of its "whiskers".

Does this mean that they are being aggressive (they seem peaceful from what I can see) or can this happen from time to time, and will it grow back?

Thanks,



M

The whiskers may "melt away" in bad water conditions, I found. It may also be a sign of aggression amonst other fish, though my ghost catfish never fought with each other.

They do grow back, though, pretty quickly at that. Don't worry too much about it. Just make sure to keep the water in tip top shape so it won't get infected.

Great, thank you
