I've heard that arow's will sometimes lose their barbells due to being in small tanks, from them rubbing and bumping the glass too much I suppose.

Yep, thats true.

Too small of a tank will rid your arowana of its beautiful barbles. I find that Jardini's have a thicker barbel at the 2ft mark when compared to other aro's at the same size.

I've seen some jars on here(forgot who it was),but his jar had small barbels for it's size and the jar was pretty big and had a thick body
