Nice.. their snout gets shorter once they reach adulthood.
They are nice but pretty expensive here in the US

its hard to get cubans in the US, dunno how the hell you got it over to singapore, but good score!!
are they naturally colored like that, or did you just get a white specimen?

Yes, Cubans are hard to find now as they are depleting in their natural habitat...
so it would be soon that you need a tagged fella in order to keep them..very much like asian aros..
this is my piece when I first brought it home....about a yr ago..

Old topic, but since I didn't see it earlier, GREAT LOOKING CUBAN! Def. one of my favorite gars, it's between them and tropicals. Speaking of which, I have to get some pics of my tropical, heh.

I have three gars, one 'hujeta', and two 'needle-nose' gars. 'Hujeta' was bought for somewhere around eight- to- twelve bucks, and the 'needle-nose' were thirteen. The two aren't a whole lot to look at, but they are kinda kewl, and they are def. different. The 'hujeta' is cool, however, almost white with a black and yellow tail. He is very sociable, always coming over when I walk up to the tank. The other two always swim away. Boy, are they jumpers, too!

Yes, hujetas are cool indeed. I own 2 of them, and my oh my, they sure eat a lot of fish for their size! They were aout 2.5 inches when I bought them last week, and now they're already about 4!
They aren't true gars, hujetas are pike characins and "needlenoses" are usually needlefish. Sometimes longnose gars (which are true gars) are called "needlenosed gars", but not too often. If it has hard, armor like scales, then it's a true gar. The "false gars" are still neat fish though. :)

Yes, it's funny to see them stuff themselves until you wonder how they can even swim! It's kinda kool, though that they are not strictly piscivorous.

We have the longnose gars at my store. I think the are so cool looking. They are not very expensive, but I am one poor bastard, I can't even afford him right now.
