Right this is the deal. I got three aros, and all have de, (on the left side) so I know what de looks like, but I came home today and noticed that my smallest aro 17"ish has a lot more de than she used to have just yesterday. it looks almost like if the eye is hanging from a bubble that is atached to the socket (the same kind that you get when you get burned).. she swims and acts normal and doesnt seem to notice it very much (for now) my camera is shi! but I will upload a pic just so you can (hardly) see for yourselves.. the short notice from normal de to this mutant de leads me to believe that it might be from external damage possibly some sort of infection/parasite I have never come across before.

I have no way of telling the parameters right now but she is the only one that I can tell is ill and my water is usually pristine and I've not been slacking with the wc's. 50% every 5 days or so.

so if you can please help me out here, they mean the world to me..

I am aware her barbels are missing but that happened before I got her (just so you don't take me for an irresponsible keeper) http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210139

here is a link to my stock and even if I am in extreme doubt that any of these guys would do this someone knowledgable maybe can point out a notorious eye biter or something.

No need to worry, this is just what the DE looks like in an advanced case. Nothing that you can do to help it or prevent it with your other aros.
 
Synd att den fått så Illa DE :/ , hoppas de blir bättre ! har ju varit fart på mina små iaf den ena dödade den andra så lite oflyt har jag haft med .
 
yeah.. its a shame but to be honest this might be the worst case of de I've ever seen not counting those humongous 35++ aros..

mm, fett skumt.. från ena dagen till den andra liksom.. mm.. såg det som hastigast i nån tråd för ett tag sen.. men det är ju dessvärre så med aros, 2 är alltid en fråga om tur.. unfortunately me and lizardking was told to keep it in english in another thread and I'm bright enough to believe that was a general rule.. (not pointing any fingers at all at the asian people on here cough couch) but hell, we've got pms for a reason..

bderick, not that I'm ignorant enough to dont trust you when it comes to aros but if you saw this in person from yesterday vs today I think you'd be surprised to..

At one time I was surprised, but after experiencing the "instant" DE twice with the same silver aro on two separate occasions with each eye, it no longer surprises me. The second case of DE with this silver it went right to the extreme DE. Pics of her:(

There was another member just last week that had your experience with both of his silvers. The pics are from this thread; Arow Eye help

Not sure what the meaning of your reply is? I did not need to use the "search function" this thread was just last week and still fresh in my mind.

I meant I should have used the search function instead of making another thread.. no matter what problem you have there is someone who has experienced it before..
