? Im sure there are blacks with DE...just as not common like the silvers..

i really think its due to lack of space.. Does Johnptc have silvers in his 50,000g tank?

I don't think he does anymore.

Explain how the amount of space would cause the development of DE

well its like putting you in a 5x5x5 box for life with a hole on the bottom for your waste and a hole on top to feed you... say u stay in there for life... how nice do u think your body will turn out? with the lack of space which causes stress ..and like everyone said after their silvers experienced a significant drama in their life it got a DE immediately... its just my opinion not a proven fact.

I have a few friends who have blacks and they jump bang their head but no drop eye. My black jump at night all the time and no drop eye. I believe its a genetic thing.

Not really following, who's everyone that said this? Is this from a different thread? Maybe you mean trauma?

So what you are saying is that stress causes DE?

 

[selki]

yes i believe so... im sure there are peopel out there who fed their silvers sticks and only sticks... and eventually got DE... yeah i meant the trauma.

considering the size of silvers compared to others..they do require much larger enclosures..
