I have a 14in Arro and one of his eyes are always looking down.I dont know why.What can I do to fix it????
 
Yep he has drop eye. There isn't anything you can do to fix it, most Silver aros will get it. You can try to prevent it by feeding well, low fat. Some try to float pingpong balls or blinking lights above the tank. I personally believe that it is genetic.
 
Drop eye sucks at first, but then you get used to it. My fish still acts like he is 100%, jumps out of the water at every movement similar to me feeding them.

Unfortunatley you cannot fix it :(
 
i've seen links of surgery to correct that, but pretty much he's stuck with it lol...dont worry, he'll still be a great fish!
 
It is only one eye.Is the other one going to do it to.I feed him pellets,Krill,crickets and night crawlers.Is this ok.
 
It might develop dropeye in its other eye. The feeding looks good, do you gut load your worms and crickets??
 
your arowana is having drop eyes. bad thing is that it can't be cure and good thing is it does not affect the health of your arowana. :)

should forget about surgery. usage of transmore could result in losing your aro.....
