Who is eating my cats whiskers place your bets?

[justarn]

As the title I'm losing whiskers in my 300g

My 12" vulture, two nemurus and 4 lined all have at least one whisker bitten in half, pretty mangled looking bites.
GG dorsal whiskers are also eaten...?

Other tankmates likely 'suspects'
5" red tail giant gourami
9" afer knife

Cichlids
Hemichromis 5 spot jewels 3× 5-6"
JD X2 4-5"
Oscar 12"
Midevil 4"
Convict 4"
Parachromis Freddy 6"
Others
6x 5-6" spanner barbs
14" black arowana

9" afer pom pom knife
5" red tailed shark
Cats

I will add both before addition of the arowana and vulture this was happening... Could it be the little slim afer!?

It's hard to say with so many potential nippers like the CA cichlids. But it could be the red tail shark. I had one that did that to a pictus before.

you have a lot of potential culprits in that tank I had spanner barbs that did that to my pictus cats before yours are very cool looking very large

 

[justarn]

Maybe I need to remove them 1 by 1...

I think it could be one of the cichlids or the spanner barbs, put a camera on the tank and leave the room, after an hour or two watch the footage and speed it up. Then you can see who is the culprit.

I'm betting on the red tail shark. Mean suckers.

But the don't have teeth do they? The vulture could bite him in two, the other cats look to have had the snipped off which would rule him out IMO.
moe214 suggested on my other thread that a change in pH could be the culprit of the Haggard vulture whiskers, his previous tank was a filthy mess tbh so if that's possible then that's highly likely the cause for him at least.
With the others it seems a bit more sporadic, definitely suspicious of the knife fish.

His as in the vultures guys lol. I'm gonna try to find a pic of my trachy' whiskers when first introduced.

Edit: got it the pic where it is red is when it finished what looked to be rotting and after that it grew back to normal. Also something I just thought of. The day before I expect a fish I always do a water change. Maybe that plays a part?
