Sorry to hear Hows the diet?? Ive seen a lot of wild adult silvers that live in regular fish tanks with no drop eye.
Ping Pong balls are thought to be a preventative for d.e . Who knows if it actually works or not. Enclosed tanks are known to work though.
tried the ping png ball and top water feeding and non fatty foods and substrate on the bottom other than bare glass. nothing worked oh well I still think he's cool. just gave him character

Eyedroop is not caused by the fish's reflection at the bottom of the aquarium nor by bacteria attacks but by the type of food fed to the fish, from what i read in a book, 2 asian hobbyist conducted experiments on feeding tough anchunky foods to their aro and after a few days with this kind of food, the eyes drooped, so it is recommended to feed your aro small and tender kind of foods. I hope this helps.
