Arowana barbel. what they really do?

[Retuks]

my aro took a dive at a fish, missed, kicked up the sand and "ate" its own barbels. they were tucked in his mouth for almost the whole day until i fed before sleep when he opened his mouth again and they popped back out. kinda like when dogs flip their ears inside out.

as for spelling, as long as we get what you mean, its completely fine. i only hate when there is no way to understand what somebody wrote at all and everything is gibberish or highly dyslexic.

THE SOLUTION TO THIS? Read what you typed before you post out loud. (if you have been accused of typing incomprehensibly). if it sounds like its clear enough info that could be used as instructions to deactivate a bomb safely then hit "submit" or "post"

Thanks for the info. AND I AM SO SORRY I CANT SPELL barbels AND HAVE BAD GRAMMER. My frist language isn't English and I am still learning english.

Hey man, great thread...I've often wondered the same thing about my aro's barbels. I think its all about feeling the waters surface for food

by the way...please don't worry about your spelling. eveyone knows what you are saying despite the 1% of the US population that is A-hole enough to call out little things like that.

Hao, I've also heard about aros barbels growing longer in a dark tank. Has you silvers barbels grown any since going blind?

loser

Seems you also have nothing of real value to add either, just trolling are you?

This is just the type post you get from someone who really has nothing to offer.


Not sure as to the exact reason for the barbels, I'm sure it;s to detect movement on the surface. Barbels usually will grow back often times they will be deformed though.

I agree with Bderick67. Mine lost both her barbels and it looks like it started growing back but never continued. Makes her look like she has a little goatie!

As for their function. When she had both barbels, and something out of the ordinary would be on the surface like a leave she would touch it with her barbels first before takin ga test bite!

my reply was not directed at you. it was directed at people who can't type.

your fine.

It is possible to make a barbell that isnt growing, grow. If the aro's barbell isnt growing back and the root has completely healed off, you'd have to puncture that spot with a needle to draw blood, this will stimulate regrowth.
