Drop Eye in small silvers?

[xdragonxb0i]

i know drop eye tend to devolop in bigger silver aros, but mind look like its begging to devolop, he is only about 7-9 inches. his mouth got torn up, from hitting the glass,

I cant get any good pics right now, ill try to get them soon.

have you guys seen drop eye in aros that is smaller then 1 foot

drop eye can develop very young when arowana are small.. sometime even a double drop eyes....

I've heard cases where their arowana hit the glass or jump out of tank which resulted in permanent damage.... usually drop eye from this....

my own silver started getting it around 7" its now 14" and might have a double drop eye...

Yeah, my nine incher has drop eye on the left side. =(

I think it's all my fault... it's all those violent movies I let her watch...

how well do they eat with drop eye? doesn't it make it hard for them to see the food on the surface?

 

[SNRMADE]

Yep, mine got it at the 10'' mark on the left side.

I heard certain food could also cause the drop eye effect?is this true?

 

[Red Devil]

usually at young age it is due to injury from jumping and hitting the top..or glass on sides..
