My large black aro jump a egg crate divider overnite and got trapped in a small area I sectioned off in my tank. Looks like he rubbed his barbels raw trying to get out. They are fleshy colored and a bit curled up. He also got an abrasion to his eye. I added some salt and stress coat. Any other suggestions? Do barbells heal, or typically fall off? Thanks
 
the barbells will heal, although they might not be as straight or as long as it used to be. hope it gets better soon
