Puffer teeth

[Chasifraz]

I figured this would be the best place to post this. So I've had a Valentini for about a year now and his teeth are getting pretty long. He can still eat fine, but Im not sure how long it will stay that way. He doesn't go after any of the snails I give him so I have to cut his teeth. Everything I've seen on puffer dentistry either involves green spotted puffers or like dogface puffer. I know that i should sedate him with clove oil but I don't know if there is different proportions that I should use due to the different type of puffer. Any help with this would be great. Thanks so much

keep a few cleaner clams in your tank , He will grind his teeth down as he is trying to get to the clam , I keep 3 cleaner clams for my puffer and he works on them everyday , it keeps his teeth filed down and keeps him active , I get my cleaner clams here when they have a sale .
