You can see it all the time - its the top on one side. I could never see my oother F8s' teeth, including his tankmate. He has crunchy foods. ?? He acts ok. I definitely still eats. I don't want to have to (eventually) sedate him.

If he's eating ok and his mouth doesn't appear to be being held open they should be OK. Kind of hard to tell from the video.

I know. Puffs just don't hover still for filming!

I was afraid my puffer's teeth were too long, I could see them and he looked like he was having a hard time eating. So I took him to the vet (I didn't want to clip his teeth myself because that's scary and clove oil causes brain damage!) the vet didn't clip the teeth but said to feed the little guy snails and ghost shrimp. He seems to be doing fine now!

I know!!!
It's a place called All Creatures and on their add it listed "fish". So I called and asked about it and they were like "Yeah, bring him on in!"
