This sounds like more proof that DE is caused from repeated head trauma. Most you can do right now is turn off the lights, keep it dark, add some salt to calm them down. Theres really nothing you can do about the eyes. Also in the first pic, part of the tissue or skin holding the eye seems to be ripped. Im not completely sure but that might have ripped when your aro hit the glass.
 
bump for Bderick to read this.
 
does ur aro have any tankmates? i know it is Drop eye, but this looks way too severe. was he feed while u were gone? it does look like it going to fall out.
 
Yes he was feed (My Bro who knows what to do). These pictures are of my 2 Arows. The both have drop eye in the left. I have had Arows 20 years and never seen anything like this. The tank has the 2 Arows and 3 small peacocks a GT and a baby TSN. They have all been together for months.
 
Could you confirm this for me, the aro in the first pic, is the skin holding the eye ripped? To me it looks like it is from this angle. I can't tell for sure though.
 
And does your brother usually feed? If not, the aros might have gotten scared and smashed into the walls and it could have caused this.
 
Wow instant DE, this is what I also experienced with one of my silvers, both eyes at different times.

Do your aros look as if they have any other wounds? The first pic looks really bad, is it really that severe or is it just the angle of the pic.
 
I think this might prove that DE is caused from head trauma.
 
No the skin is not ripped. They both had drop eye before this
weekend. My bro does come over about one or twice a week
and is always feeding them. they don't have any other injury
that I can tell, They are acting calm and just like normal except
they are not eating.. To me I looks like they have blisters or
fluid behind the eye. Will this heal or get worse?
