drop eye

[ethnics]

ping pong balls dont work.

ponds help prevent it, and some say it helps to reverse it.

but after u put it back in ur tank it'll come back... so whats the point.

be like the rest of us who keep them for years n years n years...

learn to live with it. it doesn't make him ugly if u really care for him.

put gravel so he doesnt look at his own reflection but i heard jardinis cant get drop eye

but does anyone know for real why they get it?? Must be some scientist that try to figure out why they get it.. They dont get it in wild so why in a tank? And it cant be becouse they look down to find food. Some ppl only feed pellets/sticks and they float.. Everyone say they will get it and there is nothing u can do about it. But we should try to find out WHY they get it..

becuz they keep looking down and fat grows on the eye

because without gravel the glass reflects it and then they will look at the reflection

 

[Wolf3101]

It can't be the reflection because I've always kept Pinky in a tank(s) with substraits...never a BB tank and she got it anyway...

 

[andyc228]

could be fatty foods like feeder fish

There is no reflection inside the tank from the bottom glass, if you look from above you will see this.
