arrowhead / suvatti TEETH

Post by suvattii2012 »

I was just wondering does anybody know if the suvattii teeth overgrow? He won't eat snails but loves Big worms or fish, i have a couple of thai red crabs will he eat crabs? I have had him for about 6 months and have never seen his beak, they must be sharp the way he destroyed everything that moves exept my hands.

None of mine ever experience any problems with theirs but were fed shell on foods.

You shouldn't have any trouble with the teeth growing on a suvattii. They are piscivores, so their teeth are not dependent on being fed snails. Many suvattiis don't eat snails at all (like mine, I had to stop trying, when his tank ended up as a snail breeding tank :lol: He never touched a snail )
