Hey all. Today I noticed when feeding my oscar pellets I could hear them crunching as he moved his mouth around... I know he doesn't have teeth as such, but what's going on here? Do they have grinding teeth in their throat or something?

Cheers
Phil

oscar so have teeth in the front of their mouth albeit small ones. but they also have apharyngeal teeth, which is in their throat, that is used to manipulate and consume there prey with.
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

That makes sense, I must be hearing the pharyngeal teeth crunching up the pellet.

not only that... when munching the foods, you could
also hear the gashing sound of water in their mouth
especially when they are in the surface

No, no it wasn't water. Very distinct crunching of the pellet sound - couldn't possible mistake it
