Goldfish do not have teeth in their jaws, but they do have pharyngeal teeth found in the back part of the oral cavity.

Fish do have teeth, most just have rather small teeth.
ADDITION: Goldfish do have teeth. Not so much along there jaws behind lips like we do, but deeper in their mouths along their pharynx.

Most fish do have teeth,you just don't see them.When I am feeding my betta,if I get a pellet stuck to my fingers or don't put it in quickly enough he will jump up and grab it and I can feel his little teeth on my fingers.

Fish don't have teeth usually because they feed on algae in the water.

Fish do have teeth. It's just that some are very pronounced, like sharks, and some are very teeny tiny, almost non-existent, but they are there. As with any animal, the size and shape of their teeth are based on their survival needs.

Many fish do have teeth... what are you talking about? Generally, carnivorous fish have teeth, and vegetarian fish will not have teeth.

cause there was a man who once ate fish teeth around the year 522 B.C. and he got sick and died... so the fish stopped growing teeth in honor of him
