i'd love em even more!
:ROFL: id love it more if it had no DE id love it the same with DE
 
de doesn't bother me but it would be nice to know what exactly causes it there are a few strong theroys though. their still awsome fish!!
 
my number 1 thought is head trauma

if its your own personal pet, who cares about the money. if all you have is dollar signs in your eyes then you keep fish for the wrong reasons IMO.

i wish my silver didnt have DE, but i dont like him any less because of it

you right its my own personal pet but i would rather have a 3 ft pet that looks nice swimming around my tank rather than one that looks deformed

its not $$$$ signs its if you pay good money for a asian aro then you should get the best looking fish

its much like have a expencive car with a broken head light would you fix it or not by a car with a broken head light at the start
 
It give them more of a personality. The only big silvers i've seen have had DE so I thought it was weird to see one without.
 
Meh who cares. I don't have a silver, but if I did and it got DE, I think it would look even cooler. Imagine your friends coming over and seeing a 3+ foot fish with their eyes all jacked up, it would look Monster as MFK can get.

Plus if people can keep dogs with no tails or cats that are born with 3 legs or frogs with legs deformed and still love and cherish them then who cares if a fish has some weird looking eyes. Makes it unique in my opinion.

how does it make a silver with DE unique when most of the get DE

a silver without drop eye is unique
