Hi guys

Not been on for a while having some concerns about my puffer's teeth, he feeds on river shrimp, cockles in shells and brineshrimp.

His tooth :?: seems to be growing and just wondering if he's fine and if there's anything else I could feed him to bring it down

Cheers

Rob

First, those are really great pictures! I don't know a lot about this species but he does appear to be in need of some dental work..

Article on teeth trimming..

Also is diet is not as awesome as it could be. Here is a feeding article

I just love these pictures...He so goofy/cute looking with those teeth. I have never seen this species showing its teeth that much before. These pics would look awesome as an avatar! This could a serious situation...but I am just giggling at those pics! :ROFL:

Those are huge chompers for such a small mouth.
