you cant do a damn thing that will work unfortunetly
 
i dont think u can do anything to stop it permanently :(
although theres some ways that make it go back up like putting it on a pond and/or fiber tank glass... THOUGH its poven that DE will come back after putting it back to a tank again... so, its kind of worthless...
u can try accepting and loving ur aro with d/e though! :thumbsup:
 
Its not to bad its just when i got him his eyes were like perfect and now they are a lil down.. u can barley tell but idc i love him even with his de.

i just did a water change and cleaned out my media in the w/c water and some much crud was floating in my tank i had to do anouther one lmao.. crystal clear again waho! carbon = getting out of my tank next wend....
 
There is no real solution. Just keep doing what you're doing and making sure he has clean water. It sounds like you are taking good care of him.
 
Yep so far my favo fish are the ones that come to the top when i go to feed them they all like start jumping at the food as its falling in

Baby oscar 1"
clown knife 3"
silver arowana 6"

the colors on my baby red oscar and arowana are amazing
 
Just my $0.02, but i've heard that either having LED lights at the top of the tank will help, or a ping pong ball in the tank helps. Just my $0.02. lol
 
I'm assuming by this that if they get involved in a game of Ping Pong, it will take their mind of their drop eye? lol
 
no but it gives them something to play with and when it moves in the current they will watch it.
i might try it

The idea has been around for a long time. Many here in Asia have tried it. No conclusive evidence has been found to support the fact that it prevents drop eye. If you do try it, let us know how it goes.
