my arowana lost a wisker?

Question

ok i have a silver arowana and today it fed it a feeder fish and it accidently slamed its head against the glass and now it only have on wisker left. will it grow back. what should i do.

Answer 1

If your aro is a young one, the chances of the barbel growing back are higher and the rate of recovery is faster. If its not broken at the root, chances also higher. Add aquarium salt for freshwater fish to your tank to prevent infection and speed healing

Answer 2

It'll grow back soon, probably on month, so if I were you, don't worry about it.Also, you may need a 150 gallon tank to take care of them Here are websites to tell you more about silver arowana's:
