I have heard this too but the aro looses intrest in the ball after awhile then its not good, but I have heard a thereoy that a blinking diod might do the same for longer
I don't believe much of that anymore. My 5 arowana grew up together, and 3 had DE, and 2 did not. They were all from the same batch from a distributor. Of the four that remain 1 does not have it and 3 do. I use to have a barebottom tank, and 3 got it, 2 did not.
I dont know if anyone truely knows why they get it. I have heard alot of things for causes from diet to dna inbreeding.
It's BS. Look into your tank from the top, ie not through the front glass, and there is no reflection. You see a reflection from the front, due to the angle of the 2 pieces of glass. Fish do not see their reflection, they simply see whatever is under the tank.

lol. That's when you put in a tennis ball instead.
asian fish vets have cured DE by putting aros in ponds or tanks with the sides covered. But I think that was in asian aros only. I think that the problem in silvers relates to multiple factors.
