Ghost Catfish Issues

[giantstx]

One of my Ghost/Glass catfish is being bullied by the bigger ones in its school. His whiskers came off and they won't let him swim with them. Is this a serious issue?

It could be. If bullying is too frequent or malicious it can lead to death, and a schooling species is sensitive to being ostracized.

If you have another suitable tank id move him over to it and get a couple buddies for him

I had this problem too but the bullied catfish died soon after

How many do you have?
You want 6 or more.

Make sure you have enough places where it can escape to. Break up lines of sight using decor or plants.
