I was just wondering if anyone has come up with an explaination yet as to why Silver Arowana get Drop Eye. Or if anyone knows how to cure it? This has always fascinated/annoyed me, so was just curious if someone has discovered something new in the last few months.

I believe a group of frustrated scientists gave up and chalked it up to magic :ROFL:
 
Kinda like the 'Skank eye' from the "New Guy"? Haha. Really though, it is annoying, makes me not want to get an arowana even though I love them because I know that eventually, it WILL get drop eye. Hate it.

Do any other arowanaers get it? Or is it just Silvers?
 
I'm still chalking it up to head shape, but no one knows. Blacks are good, and so are jardinis if you don't want much of a community:)
 
I might have to look into just getting a black then...haha. The wifey loves them. Just hate that drop eye!!

What about the head shape though? I thought blacks and silvers had the same body structure?

They're very similar, but the silver is a bit bulkier and more broad.
