The silver aros, O. Bicirrhosum, are a very imbred species. The most likely cause of drop eye is imbreeding IMO, which is why Blacks, and most Scleropages do not have this problem as frequently. While yes I agree that a healthy diet can stop it, and a bad diet will almost certainly cause drop eye. My silvers have it except for 2. Most Silvers you see that are over 12" will have drop eye, a sad but real fact.
i agree i have yet to see my babies with drop eye and they were imported but who knows if it will come or not the two big guys have it allready and they only get the good stuff no fatty feeders in my tanks they also get a very wide assortment of things to eat all prepared or frozen no live except insects they can go in live IMOWyldFya said:
well I pride myself on my feeding regiment and all 3 silvers I had developed drop eye.. feeding is not the cause of drop eye but it definatly can help cause it.jerppyjerp said:
