redcross Help!! Aro barbels' injured

All bros,

One of my 2 PGs comm arowana's barbel was injured due to chasing the feeders. I'm considering cutting them off so that it will grow back.

It is 10 inches now and the barbel grow back after cutting?

Thanks.

Tried to take picture but failed...the picture taken over exposure..new to taking arowana picture. Just check the barbels, one of them have broken off (left with 5mm) and I hope the other barbel broke off too.

Will it grow back?

Hi.Bro
Dun worry, it will grow back but take times.
Be prepare on the uneven length when it grows.
Think not advisable to cut it.
