this is when he was in my ten gallon. but now he is in a 55 gallon.
i havent got any tankmates yet but soon. i feed him goldfish and redbelly minnows.
soon to get 2 needle fish, a pacu and an oscar or chichlid.

Just my 2cents, but I dont recomend cichlids with Gars. Your % for broke back increases. Try to add calm fish so he will not get spooked and run into the tank and breack his back.
Nice Gar...:D

i agree.
especially w/ a longnose gar...the chance of failure is great to begin with...dont worsen the odds. i think 10" in a 55 is pretty risky as well...i had one break it's back in a 30 gallon tank at 10". good luck w/ whatever you choose though and be prepared to upgrade in the very near future...assuming it doesnt kill itself.
