When you look in the front glass of your tank all you get is a reflection from the side glass you can't see out of them at all the same with the front glass if you look in the side glass all you get is a reflection on the front glass
Drop Eye = genetics or consequence?

Then why don't blacks get DE?
I've seen pictures of asian pond breeders with DE.
My 5 yr old RTG lives in a tank with some sand and the rays constantly push the sand back so half the tank is barebottom. He feeds off the bottom a lot. No DE.
I happen to think it's trauma or poor genetics from inbreeding.

I agree with trauma to a point. I think it can contribute to DE but for the most part I think it's genetics. Much like we humans contract diabetes.

Naw, cause unlike you, the basis of my opinion is not from just one event.

I agree with the trauma, and genetics, but not so sure about "poor" genetics.
I recall reading a discussion a year or two ago where they were showing some wild red aros that I believe were collected in Kalimantan, and they too had drop eye. Do you recall reading or seeing that discussion, Gerry?
Might not have been here on MFK, possibly on arofanatics?
BTW - what time does your new fish arrive?

Could you provide a link to this discussion?
