Does anyone on this board have wild caught silver aros that DO have drop eyes?

I've been searching for a wild one for some time and will finally bring one home in few days. I'm really hoping that it will be free of eye problems.

Somebody on here, I forgot who has wild ones and they don't have drop eye and are of a large size. I believe he also has farm raised ones and those one do.

the biggest market for aquarium fish is actually in the states.

I raised a silver arowana to 8" with no droop eye, and based on the updates I'm getting from the current owner, it's still in perfect condition. :) it's got to be well over 15" now.
