I've only seen a few reasons for far for barbel erosion. My water quality is fine:
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates above 0 and less than 5
PH 8.2
I have 8 neons and 4 Cory cars (false julii)
The substrate is super naturals fine sand. All I can think of is the sand has a tendency to develop dead spots. I turn it up at every water change. And there was a cave I'm there. The water inside would stink. This last week I took it out. Otherwise I change 50% of the water and vac rake the sand once a week.
Any ideas? Thanks!
