Gar Tank

OK.........I have had a few requests to see my longnose gar so here he is.
I have learned so much by watching the feeding habits of this little guy and has helped me understand the species better. I am working on a bigger tank for him because he is almost 17 inches long now.

I have now had that fish for 2 years. He is now nearly 20 inches and in need of a new tank. It is very common for your gar to change color from day to day even by mood or color of your gravel. I put sand in mine because gar like to put their nose into the sand and dig. That is a neat habit to watch. I now have a couple other fish in the tank with him and they do wel together.

Nice looking gar! I had one, but now I have a rtc/tsn hybrid, florida gar and sun catfish. They get along great in my 125!

I have an Alligator Gar and it is quickly outgrowing my 30gallon and my friend is selling me his old 125gallon setup.
