Dats going blind

[Arowana718]

They go blind because of the lighting in the tank!

Most people kept them in Arowana barebottom tank with tanning light or some kind of high output lighting system, the intense spectrum causes the whiteness, it's just like if you look directly into the sun.

You got to remember, tigers often reside in shady or in very deep water area where sunlight is scarce.

I totally agree. Dats naturally hide in their spots in the wild

for the most part, some older datnoids seem to have like a slight cloudiness on the inside pupil. you have to look very closely to notice. and the outside lens is perfectly fine. IMO, i think its caused by excessive lighting. I could be wrong.

My tank is lighted by natural sunlight. I think its just an age thing. All my dats have slightly cloudy pupils, but can see perfectly fine.

All my big indo datnoids back then had that same slight cloudiness. My water is good and they eat healthy.

Who knows if its normal or its due to the cause of lighting.
