I have read that they tend to jump for food... but the incidents I have seen reported have been smaller tanks 180's etc.

yeah, aros jump for food. in the amazon they eat small monkeys (not kidding i saw it on Animal Planet).
For drop eye, ive heard that a balanced diet with most of the food being floating will help fight it off. I also dont see how it couldnt be genetics. If silvers as a species were prone to it they would not have survived as long as they have (natural selection). This seems to be the only logical explanation as to why blacks, jardinis, leichardi, and formosas dont get drop eye nearly as often.
