One of my Corydoras has a barbel missing

[KevlarFish]

Hello,

I recently bought 2 laser corydoras and really love them. I noticed the one on the right has a barbel missing on their right hand side. Had them for over a week now and no signs of it growing back, anyone know if they will eventually grow back?

Gorgeous duo, beautiful pic. Yes, with superior water quality it should grow back slowly .

Thanks, took me a lot of shots to get the right one, they keep moving their head a lot so cannot get a steady shot haha. They don't sell much of these over here, so only have 2, but have 4 juli corydoras, hopefully should be ok, as heard it is better to have a group of 6

I have 3 false julii corydoras (trilineatus), and a whole bunch of albino aeneus corycats. Once they settle into a tank after the "danger period" they can live a long time. My one female (trilineatus) is 10 years old and one of my favourite all time fish. I love the gentle, bumbling, sweet nature of corycats, they never bicker or hurt each other (unlike humans haha).
