much like a lot of the assumptions on this site, there is a lot of poor information floating around (no pun intended) about this fish.
they absolutely do have teeth, though "large" is relative only to the size of the fish. clearly they are not "large" like a paraya, but for a 3" characin, the dentation is pretty impressive.
