set of teeth on dempsey

[nobuhiko takada]

my dempsey is a year old, and he's huge, maybe 6" and fat too

i cant get a pic cause he hates the camera, in aug i noticed some small teeth and thought nothing of it, they looked more like bumps,,
my tank got alittle funy a month ago or so. with some fungus ,,, its all sorted out now, but the teeth went away during the illness,
and now there back with a vengence, kinda weird, there white with red tips,

anyway ... is this comon in dempseys? i never seen the teeth before having mine,,,

now that you mention it i think my year old JD about 5-6" has a few bumps that look like teeth. like you i never paid much attention until recently. so i would also like to know if these are in fact teeth.

sry for off topic but do jd have a slow growth rate???

ive seen a adult dempsey where you could barely see the teeth and one that was about 5in. with massive teeth (for its size) dempseys are wierd like that. maybe it was a male and female thing...
