hmm don't really know if whiskers actually grow back or just heal. I would suggest adding some stress coat its helpful in case of injuries

have never seen mine lose theirs', what kind of fish does he live with?

hello again seem to be doing a lot of replying to you today, still i appreciate the input, he -did- live with gourami leapard danios mollies and beacon tetras.. oh and of course the flying fox ,, the flying fox has now gone back to the lfs... a beautiful fish , but not one to have with corys . when the flying fox got bigger he became quite aggressive and would repeated chase and graze on the corys backs..the lfs said it was unlikely the cause of the cory losing his whiskas but as their is no sign of infection or redness around the mouth , i am not convinced..corys much happier without him, by the way we brought him as a community fish and they were aware of the other fish in the tank.. jackie
