I managed to keep my silver from getting it after two mornings on the floor and a length of 12in. Do not know much on the disease, any info appreciated! Can it be deadly?

this is just my opinion but, arowanas are surface fish and their prey at at the bottom and somtimes above water. so since the prey is below i do not believe that drop eye is a disease or conditon or genetic thing i think its just natural.

maybe the arowanas thought it was easier to just drop their eyes rather then re-arrange their faces lol
I think part of it is caused by head trauma, however, I had an idea the other night.
In the wild, they're constantly looking up for food. In tanks, especially those with other fish in them, the need to look down for food becomes part of their daily lives. Perhaps DE is evolution. The eye drops to see food that may be on the tank floor and also to keep an eye on tankmates within close quarters.
