Jack Demspey with Teeth???

[nmadsen4]

I'm well aware of cichlids that have teeth, however I have never heard of a jack dempsey having teeth. I came home tonight from work to notice that my 5'' has recently grown in a small set of teeth on his bottom jaw.

I've been trying to get pictures to show this, but they're still very small teeth, definitely teeth however.

Is this normal? why has no one else ever mentioned their jack with teeth? I'm always seeing Dovii, jags, mota's ect........

IF you have pics of your own Jack with teeth please do share.

It's kind of hard to tell in these pics, but my old JD used to have a whole set of chompers

Most larger cichlids have teeth, minus oscars. I had a Rapp's Midas that grown to 15" and he has some rather large orange and black teeth.
