fahaka teeth care

Post by Biggpuff »

My puffers teeth seem to be getting a little big. He is still eating like crazy so i am not to worried right now, but i wanted to know if there was a cheaper solution for keeping his teeth at a healthly length besides feeding him apple snails. He does not really seem to care for mussels to much. Any ideas?

+1 on both of the above comments. Cuttlebone is great for puffers, if they use it. I was just going to mention cockles as well- most owners of the bigger pufferfish (that I have seen) have had great luck with them.
