Got up this morning to see my scomb has one of his large front teeth bent back to a 45 degree angle in his mouth. What do I do! Will this heal on its own, or will I have to do fish surgery. He is still eating fine and closing his mouth fine, but right now he is small, and I'm worried about when he gets larger and has to take down bigger prey.
 
yea its just a new rotating into place.
 
Oh phew. I was worried about him for a second. So I'm guessing they work just like a shark then as when one tooth gets worn out they just drop it and get a new one in its place?
 
yep pretty much just like a shark
 
I have noticed crocked teeth on mine a lot, one time a tooth was sticking out of he mouth when closed, haha.
