my blue spotted puffers teeth are all broken .
Do these puffers teeth continually grow?

Ooh- I like blue spotteds. :)

Yes, puffers' teeth keep growing, that's why you have to give them crunchy foods, to wear them down. I wonder why his are broken? Biting on coral?

Check out the Puffer Dentistry article in our Library. You probably need to even them out & then continue giving him crunchy foods to keep them short. Info on proper foods in the Feeding articles.
