Act now to ensure that your fish can continue to eat properly. You may need to contact a specialist fish veterinarian, who will anaesthetise the pufferfish and trim back the teeth to a correct length.




Start with your regular vet however, as he or she may be prepared to carry out this task for you. In the future, try to include hard-shelled items such as snails in your pufferfish's diet as this should help to wear its teeth down naturally, reflecting its typical diet more closely.
