fahaka teeth

Post by jaclyn_24 »

I've had my fahaka since about last june. I feed him a ton of shrimp, but i haven't been feeding him snails lately. So now, i notice when he tries to eat, he doesn't end up actually swallowing any of his food. I'm thinking his teeth are too big? He's getting a little skinny, so i'm getting nervous... His other habits are completely normal aside from this, so I dont think he's sick. Do i clip his teeth? They're looking a little large, but i didnt think there was a problem until now... And if so, how do i do this?? I'm worried for him :(

Sounds like he needs a trimming, what other foods are you giving him?
