then what causes this?

then what causes this?

the best guess is when the aro jumps and hits there head the damage causes there eyes to get bruised and pop out downwards. Some members on here witnessed there aros get drop eye right after they jumped and hit there head. Also explains why aros in ponds or in the wild don't get drop eye.

ohh ok, that makes sense. what if you have an topen top with a net on top of your tank? then the chances are smaller?

Good idea, though i can't guarantee it will not get drop eye(if its a silver) because my first guess is only that a guess there can be other ways they can get it, but im pretty sure food floating or not, fat or not, will not cause it.
