Longest it took for Armatus tooth to grow.

Running about a week now and I still don't see any sign of my big armatus getting his left fang back. Just getting a little concerend because I never saw it take this long.. Maybe he knocked it out before one was ready to replace it?? So it might take a little longer?? Any response will be appreciated.

interesting...
maybe it takes longer for adults like yours to replace it??

 

[OnceLoyal]

No idea!! I would assume not. I mean 13" is no where near adult I wouldn't think.

it just means it was knocked out ahead of schedule. a new one will be ready soon

vamp, so it means age doesnt have anything to do with healing process with these fishes? unlike the arows, the older they get, it's longer for a torn fin or missing scales to grow back? just curious.

thanks.

im sure it does have to age,as with most animals.
but i wouldnt worry at all.

Yeah, still no sign of a new tooth. I think it is possible though he knocked it out after replacing it about a week prior so it could take a good month I guess.
