some help please.

Hello there.
I have a saddle puffer that I took over with the aquarium about 8 weeks ago.
The guy before only fed dry food. Is there anything else that I should feed him. Also what about the teeth. Everywhere I read it says they need something to grind them down.
Please help!!!
Thanks. Sash

I saw on TVwhere a veteranarian gassed them and used a dremel on their teeth! No clue about puffers eating habits tho.

So you are saying I should do the same??

Hard shelled foods fed a couple times a week should keep the teeth filed down. THe matural diest of the puffers in the wild is hard shelled foods....so the teeth continue to grow to compensate for their diet. Try throwing in some cheap small snails.
