africans have teeth??

[Paul]

do labidochromis have teeth? I've just noticed today that mine seem to have
little red teeth, around 1/2 - 1 mm long. I never noticed them before,
they are red and spikey.. maybe they ate something red and it showed up the
teeth? I just want to make sure it's not a parasite or something...

All cichlids have teeth. They are very variable and are the most
important classification feature.

Labidochromis have clearly visible teeth. I think they use them for
scraping algae from rocks and filtering out the tiny organisms.
