Yes! Oscar fish
do have teeth
but not in the front like humans.
Their teeth are located in their
throat
, known as pharyngeal teeth.
These teeth help them
crush and grind
food efficiently.
Oscars eat insects, crustaceans, and even small fish.
Though they have teeth, they
rarely bite humans
.
If an Oscar bites, it might feel like a
pinch
, not a deep wound.
Handling them gently avoids accidental bites.
Oscars are aggressive but mostly towards
tank mates, not humans
.
Their teeth regenerate, ensuring
lifelong chewing power
.
So, while Oscars have teeth, there's
no need to fear them!
