My ugly 18 inch silver

[batang_mcdo]

Comments on my new ugly 18 inch silver please,
noticed he has double dropeye lol

I bought him as tankmate for my other silver hoping this one is a male and the other a female.


Also noticed he's quite dark? currently eating well. I have a divider between the 2 silvers for now since this one is 4 inch smaller than my old 1 and also half the others thickness.

thanks for viewing

Forgive me for being politically incorrect, but drop eye comes from inter-breeding right?

It just reminds me of a fish with down syndrome, flame away!!!

hah never seen double DE before.i dont think hes ugly though

DE is very common amongst silvers.even in the wild they have dropped eye,its just excessive fat build up behind the eye.

geez that fish is hideous!!!!!! JK nice aro. and classic, drop eye is common on silver arowanas when they get older. you will rarely see a silver in captivity w/o drop eye, and nobody really knows why they get this

there is no proof of this. the real reason is unknown...almost all silvers in captivity have it though.

nice silver too! he's not ugly at all...
