No teeth that I can see so far... he is really mildly aggressive. Only eat what fits in his mouth.

heh i hope its not a garfish like i have caught and avoid trying to catch while fishing... (is it bad to talk about fishing on a fish keeping forum) anyway if it is it will get teeth and lots of them... probably eat anything it can get cornered.. local Bass Pro Shops had to get rid of theirs cause it kept trying to eat the crappie

Yeah "Gary" our garfish is very personable. I can hand feed him shrimp and he loves flakes. He/she hangs out with my angelfish, Ziggy all the time.
