Corys do regrow their barbels. Not all sensory organs on all fish do recover from injury but corys are lucky. Sometimes, if the damage is done to their nerve endings there will be permanent damage, and they may never be as long or functional but they do grow back. Many other hobbyists have...

It's very hard to get an accurate temperature from your hand, and tepid to me means that several of my tanks are a little warm. Depending on the type of fish(it sounded like tetras?), they might be able to live within quite a large range of temperature so long as it's consistent and not a shock...

From my experience yes? It may take a while, and you should be very careful about infection and additional wear and tear around the injury site but barbels and whiskers do grow back on most fish. To avoid infection and extra stress I'd keep an eye on your water chemistry to make sure it isn't...

Unfortunate but true, I've kept multiple types of gouramies in community tanks over the course of 5+ years. There are just some combinations of fish that the more aggressive fish will lash out against. Best of luck.
