Tetraodon Baileyi

Post by migitymke »

Hi All,

It's been a few months now and my little buffer buddy is happy and swimming about.

I'm posting today as I'm looking to confirm whether or not this species requires any special attention in regards to its teeth. Is that true that their diet should consist of hard shelled creatures or that you otherwise are required to tend to their teeth so that they don't get to long? So far as I've research I don't see but a mention or two that their teeth require attention and I'm not entirely convinced that the sources are good nor for that matter valid.

Thanks for any feedback.
Cheers,

M

I don't think so.

Pig's teeth are fine, he only eats worms, shell on prawns, and little crabs, won't touch molluscs.
