I have a pair of sturdy 14" tweezers that are supposed to be for planting things but are being used to feed my fish. Whenever I offer my warmouth something in them, he lunges, grabs the food and up to an inch of tweezer, and yanks it away, and I can hear his teeth scraping on the tweezers. Could this end up hurting him? I like tweezer-feeding him because I can get him to chase things and he gets all excited, but I'll stop if it could injure him.
Will steel tweezers hurt my sunfish's teeth?

I would think it would scrape his mouth. I use this to feed my tigrinus, datnoids, and stingrays. Its plastic and relatively safe. My tigs and especially the female ray lunges at the feeder. I prob go with this to b safe

lol so ur just doing a good job in raising him. I'll try n get a video up, but my female ray will literally hump/molest the tweezers tryin to get at the shrimp just cuz shes so excited.
I won't worry to much about it. If it bothers you try putting airline tubing over the tips. If the tweezers are to narrow you can use superglue to glue the tubes on.
im sure the fish has some idea of what he is doing but if it looked like he could hurt himself id probably stop.
do you have a video of him doing it?
