Danios with Foo Man Chu

[jlbfish]

I have 2 danios who have what looks like a white hair coming out of each side of their mouth. At first I thought it was only one and I thought it was just a hair but I just noticed that there are two of them.

Is there a parasite that would cause this or do I have 2 fish that eat hair?

Those are barbels. Perfectly normal for danios.

Really?! I had no idea Danios had that.

You learn something new everyday! Thanks!

It's just like koi barbels. Used for finding food.
