Yes, the arapaima has teeth, but they are not very prominent. Instead of sharp teeth, they have small, peg-like teeth that are more suited for grasping and holding onto slippery prey, such as fish. These teeth help the arapaima effectively catch its food in its natural habitat of the Amazon River and its tributaries.
