In a mammal their eyes get sunk in whenn they get dehydrated...............Don't think thats the case here
My only serious guess is that they may have fat deposits behind or near the eye and when they are malnourished this becomes depleted.
are you talking about royals being able to sink their eyes for protection? mine does it all the time. looks like its blinking
No, she means actual sunken eyes. When they're starving/underfed their eyes look that way. It looks like there's a ring around their eyes, it's actually concave. I don't have any pictures but once you've seen it its easy to recognize again.
Neervana, you'll probably never see it with your Royal since they seem to have appetites like 13 yr old boys lol

When I first got my L-114 pleco it had sunken eyes and belly after I had him for two weeks. I put him in a small 20 L without gravel and fed him bloodworms and Wardleys Flake. In a weeks time he was fine. Maybe since he was wild caught it was an adjustment in captivity. Scared the crap out of me since I dropped 3 bills on the damn thing. He is fine now and eats like a hog. Up to 20 pellets a day.
