How long SAP can go on without snails..

Post by Shawn91 »

I've ordered a large bunch of snails. Problem is..they're not arriving before tuesday.:( It's been about four days ago since my SAPs had their last snail meal. Now I'm wondering how long it will take before I need to trim their teeth. Exactly how fast does their teeth grow? How long does it take for them to have overgrown teeth?

I think that SAPs going without snails for one week won't be a problem, especially as it sounds like they've had a very good diet of snails up until now and come Tuesday they will again :)
Puffers!:
Carinotetraodon borneensis 1M 1F
Carinotetraodon irrubesco 2F
Carinotetraodon salivator 1M 1F

Tetraodon biocellatus

In the past have kept Colomesus asellus & Carinotetraodon travancoricus
