Don't confuse him with your buddy!
Ping pong balls, floating plants or lights or anything that floats to help the aro to prevent the DE is a complete BS.
I was reading about it being over breeding.
So is there anyone out there with a WC silver with drop eye?
So is there anyone out there with a WC silver with drop eye?
i didnt read this whole thread but i read some info about someone that manages zoo tanks and has done necropsy on silvers and paima's that show that when drop eye occurs there is a build up of cartilage behind the eye, and that he has noticed that it is basically been from physical trauma where the fish either hits a lid or a wall. something to help prevent but not cure (curing would take surgery to remove the cartilage) would be to paint both ends of your tank along with the back wall so the only clear glass would be the front so the fish can unmistakingly see its boundries on the fly to try to avoid running into it. this is why fish in ponds and in the wild dont generally have drop eye. no glass to run into.
