Hi guys.. I have a problem.. in my tank there are 6 Sturisoma Panamense ( 1 Female , 3 Male and 2 young born 8 months ago )
Today I noticed that one of the males has lost all his "whiskers/barbels" , he eats and swims without problems.. but it's normal?? I have them from 2 years
Tnx all

Yes, the odontodes are seasonal. They will come back. Normally, in the wild, males only have them in the breeding season.

@Shane tnx..
I was worried because about a month ago I bought some L134 and L129 ... I think it could be a bacterial attack
