As long as u keep ur water parameter good, it will recover in ard 2~3weeks time

have you experienced the same problem before? because expert hobbyists express their opinion that it will take years to grow back and it will be shorter and bend awkwardly on different direction compare to the other one.they advise me to get rid of him the earlier the better.please tell me that your answer is base on your true experience.

It'll grow back,bro.
Just keep water parameter good

Since your aro is still young, it'll grow back very fast

Don't worry

My experience is not like yours. My aro barbel got bend due to jumping

Then, asked advices from other AF bros here. Then, according to their advice, me and my friend did operation(Cutting the barbel). We'd cut abt half of barbel and it fully grow back 1~1.5 mths time.
It's perfectly grow back. No defect!!! I even forgot I cut left or right

Hi Bro
The younger the fish, the better of recovery. My previous RTG also lost half of its barbel. Take about 3 months to grow back. Cant see much difference.

The younger the fish, the faster it recover.
