Need Help - To let barbel grow back

[tigerlover2006]

Hi

I bought a RTG some time ago. It was a beautiful fish but with one barbel broken. I was told that the barbel will grow back slowly. After 6 months, the RTG is now 18" at least and the barbel still did not grow back.

Can any bro recommend someone to help me cut the barbel and let it grow back? I was told that this is possible but i really do not know how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Looks not so bad. Just keep the water in tip top condition. Cheers.
