TEETH

Post by Delilah »

so i have this little tiny (but not for long) fahaka puffer. i'm really good about feeding him tiny snails and ghost shrimp so his teeth don't grow out of hand. i've put my face up to his tank many a time, but still don't know what his teeth look like. can you actually see them, or what?

Once they grow a bit, you can see them when he rubs his face on the glass, or bites something hard. If they get really overgrown, you may be able to see them all the time, which means he's going to need a trim soon.

There should be no reason your fahaka's teeth ever need trimming, if fed a proper crunchy diet.
