The Puffer Forum

this is just a question out of curiousity. has anybody ever ran across the problem of thier puffers beak/teeth needing to be trimmed on a small puffer like a gsp or a figure 8? how do you do it? do you have to bring it to some fish specialist and have them trimmed down some how? i feed my puffers a few snails a day and i hope i dont ever have to trim them somehow. it seems that it would really stress them out.

Step-by-step article on this in the Hospital section of our Library.

I wouldn't really consider a GSP or a F8 small, and there teeth shouldn't become overgrown until they are larger anyway.
Trimming smaller puffers teeth can be done though, it just might require a little more skill.
