Dropeye
Hi friends,
My Arowana has dropeye... Want to perform some surgery if it gets a lot worse. Anyone know where to get information on this? My Google searches didn't help much. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk |

Some mature aros do developed drop eye.
I had adopted a almost 20 yrs old RTG from my brother-in-law last November. The old timer was pretty sluggish & only fed with crickets & live prawns. Kept in a 4x1.5x1.5 semicircular tank. Likewise, it developed very serious drop eye on one eye. I housed old timer in a 422 with 2 small tiger oscars. Diet: just pork. By March, no more drop eye. |

Thank you very much for the info streetsmart.
Just 2 questions. RTG? So you suggest I put mine in a bigger tank? Atm it is in a 200G and by December I want to put him in a 500G pond that I have yet to build. And then only feed him pork? Any other diet suggestions? Thank you again! Quote:

Bro, wow! That's one huge pond for your aro. That will do plenty of good to your aro. The aro will consume anything when it is hungry. I feed my fish (aros, oscars, kois) pork as it's most available & cheap . Nothing to do with the drop eye |

Diet wise, better to give a variety or alternate foodtype on alternate days |
