I have had Amazon puffers, required trimming of teeth. And did not like them, as they were always nervous.
I had the dwarf puffer and they were too small to be seen. Did not like them.
I had figure 8 puffers, they turn out to be brackish, so I got rid of them.
I then bought 3 Congo spotted puffers, their teeth overgrown, tried trimming the teeth and it was to most stressful job I have ever done in my life. The mouth of these puffers had very complicated structure, becuade the teeth are attached to some other part of the mouth and cutting is bit going to detach it unless you cut some part of the mouth layer. So in process two of them survived and on me of them died from mouth injury and use of sedation. I got traumatised by her death and thinking of getting rid of the other two as well.
I tried a lot to find a puffer fish which would be similar to the Congo spotted puffers but wouldn’t require trimming of teeth. I don’t know how in wild God handles their teeth that it never overgrown in wild but in my aquarium their teeth overgrown, I tried everything, giving them hard shelled snails such as ram horn snails , frozen shrimp, etc. but nothing stopped their teeth from becoming overgrown.
I don’t know care how expensive, I need to find puffer fish that is freshwater and doesn’t grow too big , as my tank is 150liters and I want to be stress free from the overgrown teeth. Please recommend what kind of puffer should I buy? Appreciate your help!
