high grade super red with drop eye..

[giar]

So i got my super red aro about 1 week ago but it wasnt an easy decision to get him..

i had to make a choice when selecting the red aro directly from the farm.

there was one nice aro with decent body color, but it had a "normal" body shape.. well just like everyday red aro if u know what i mean.. no spoon head, long body.. u know.

then there was this guy.. he got a grade 1 body shape.. spoon head, short and tight body..but.. it has a little/mild eye drop.. you tell me how bad the eye drop is..

later, i decided to get the eye drop aro, because of its body shape, i hope i didnt make a bad choice.. what i had in mind when i was making my decision that drop eye is a common problem with arowana, so if i chose the "all normal", with "common everyday" body shape one, one day it could also get a drop eye.. eventho the chance is 50-50..

so i hope i didnt make a wrong call...
please let me know what decisio you would make if you were in my shoes..

from the left side, he is just like a contest super red


but from the right side, you can see he has a drop eye.. how bad it is? you tell me.. i say it is a small drop eye, or a little mild drop eye..what you say??

so yeah this is the "normal" body shape that im talkin about just like my cross back asian aro in my other tank..

I am no expert on drop eye, but feeding on the surface and using colourful floating blass may give it something to look at

the floating ball thing? In the wild they are watching the waters surface constantly. I have a feeling giving the msomething to look at will help agains DE

mmm well some said it works but most said it doesnt..

i just wished it didnt have DE and i would have a dream super red lol

perhaps for now, is there anything i can do to make the dropped eye not getting any worse?

Try the balls maybe? and feed as much on the surface as possible

Yes it's a pretty strong drop eye, not just mild. Not super mega strong but still strong.

I've seen surgery done on aros with drop eye and seem to work very well
