black aro with DE

[Austin]

Sorry but what is DE?

drop eye. where one or both eyes constantly look down.

That's too bad. My 3 black aros are captive breeds from Japan and hopefully it won't develop DE. Darn it, this is bad news for me.

Thanks for sharing

first time I've seen it too.

There's always first time - and this proves Ethnics was right when he said that all aro eventually will get DE

If DE bothers you that much, don't keep aro

DE don't bothers me. Aros are the first fish that I started keeping. There is no way that DE will stop me. I have some silver aros with DE before. It was just a shocked to me that black aros develop DE as well. However I know it will probably be 50/50 chances. Just like the jars and the asian aros. Some develope them , some not.

Wow.. first time i see it on a blk.. and 1st time seeing an OLDer Blk Arowana...

Both my silvers at 12"-13" are already developing drop eye.. I watched one of mine getting it..

I too have to agree that even with the drop eye.. it doesnt really bother me..
They still look good especially when u look down and feed them..

but thanks for sharing!

african getting DE isnt most likely going to happen b/c there more like arapaima and i have 1 its eyes are big lol compared to silvers,blacks,jars,leis
