My 1000g fish bar ( predatory freshwater)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thought some of you would like to see this. The tigerfish is shedding it's teeth. I actually saw one fall infront of me and tried to retrieve it , but with white sand it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Hopefully when it gets bigger.

I didn’t know tiger fish did this. I guess sharks do it & rays shedding their barb. I’d just never thought of a fish shedding teeth. That’s super cool you got to witness it mate 😎

Actually they shed their teeth rather often. Around once a month/ every few weeks. Then they swim around for a day or so with no teeth. its really funny to see! Aggression goes down during this time and feeding also.

I have a bucket of sand sitting next to the tank and im convinced the tooth is in there. If i ever find some i will make some kind of jewelry with the teeth
 
Love to see a pic of a toothless tiger of you have or can get

I will have to catch that next time! There is only a small window of 12-24hrs where there are no teeth in the jaw. As you mentioned, like sharks they have the next tooth already lined up. He/She has a brand new smile today
