niger fangs

[balistidae]

at what size do nigers get the red fangs??

 

[grouperhead]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they born with red teeth? Bo

 

[balistidae]

i have seen larger specimens with 2 big fangs that stick out of their mouth like a vampire

 

[grouperhead]

Teeth grow as fish grow.....Bo

 

[balistidae]

haha yeah i know i am just curious about an approximate length that i could expect these fangs to show

I can see the fangs of my roommates niger and he is probably 4 inches long.

 

[grouperhead]

Yeah, I'd agree...about 4" is when you can really start to see them good. When they get big, it is a very impressive sight. Bo

my niger's fangs are a little bit visible and he is about 3".
Those fangs are kinda scary....

 

[balistidae]

thanks guys...i cant wait for mine to get his

how big is your niger? o, most nigers i see have a tealish color, mine is a very dark blue, is the dark blue color only the juvenille color? err dont nigers change colors?

mine is about 4" he does have some pretty impressive teeth now, he bit me today. i couldn't believe it, he has always been such a nice fish. well, i guess that's what i get for sticking my hand near "his" live rock
