Arowana feelers on tip of mouth

[rottbo]

they should but not always will they.. if they dont it usually cause water params

It all depends on where it broke and how old the aro is. One of my silver's were about 5" when about half of one barbel broke. It grew back in a few weeks.
On the other hand my 20" aro jumped out of the tank and broke both barbels at the base next to his jaw. Those never grew back. They ended up being little stumps.

Good Luck

barbels will grow back. if fish is young, will grow back faster. just like scale.

Glad to hear that his barbles are growing.

if it broke at the base, it doesnt grow back, meds is not required, just maintain good water parameters.

if it doesnt grow back nice, you could trim it you want

my aro slammed his face into the tank a few months ago and they were damaged. They grew back bigger and stronger.
