Here is the new discussion topics:

1. Comments or contributions about your diet plans for the fish, or in here, particularly Arowana.

2. Should we vote on something interesting too
Most possible/frequent causes of droop eyes ->
1. Genetics
2. Environment
3. Diet/Food
4. Others (list them)
(Too bad no poll function here or is it that I dont know there is any)

Kenny, Simon and others who followed our discussion at above mentioned thread, feel free to comment.
I eould agree with vetduck. I believe genetics play an important role in droop eyes, and the environment may have a significant effect, too. One of my friends has 2 RTGs which were bought from the same source, farm but tagged on different dates. They are in the same tank, therefore, same water, and food. One got bad droop eyes, and the other does not.
I was told to prevent, or minimize droop eyes, the environment should be darkened. Also, put some floating objects in the tank so that the fish do not look downward all time to the bottom of the tank.
