Drop eye already!

take out the fish and put a ping pong ball

omg......

Actually taking out the fish and put in a ping pong ball is a great idea, cause ping pong balls don't get DE

anything coming out of the ocean is going to have a lower concentration of salt in the tissue than the surrounding water. think about osmosis.

freshwater meat has the higher concentration of salt in the tissue not seafood.

just my opinion

it maybe something in the prawn that curses it all i no is my tigers dont rub anymore

so im sticking to meal worms and pellets until i get an aro with drop eye thats my opinion on prawn their is something about them some fish dont like

i know my aro doesnt like prawns that much he chews it instead of swallowing it whole like all the other foods

I beleive DE is causes by the silvers head smashing into the aquarium glass. My 23" silver now has DE in both eyes, on seperate incidents both eyes developed DE after a violent collision. There is a good chance that many aros kept in ponds don't develop DE because they have nothing to ram their head into.

that would mean black and jar aros dont jump and smash the cover glasses

No that would not mean that, and ya forgot asians I supose with the looking down theory you would assume that blacks, jars and asians don't look down, no you wouldn't would you?

I'm diggin the trading the aro for a ping pong ball idea......as mentioned no drop eye,easy maintenance, very few compatibility issues.......

I remember when my first silver got DE, I was like


"nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo god noooooooooooooo why why me noooooooo" and then I got like 10 more silvers and they all got it too so I gave up and got a lei, no DE but he did bash his eye the other day and its a little swollen.

i think drop eye comes from silvers being bred with their own bloodlines on farms. why do u think blacks, jars, and others dont get drop eye? because they are all wild caught.

theres actually a pingpong ball in there which has been in it since the aro was put in.

That is actually more dangerous than helpful
