thanks guys! i take a lot of pride in them.

the t-gar's growth has really slowed down at this point. he seems to have slowed to about an inch a month growth rate.

all three of them are pigs. they eat anything that hits the water. i have a few other cool pics i will maybe post tonight.

thanks again for the comments!

Awesome Gars but that rock on top of the driftwood is very risky dude, It could easily fall and smash your tank!!!

The rock is fastened to the driftwood by a screw underneath and the drifwood is fastened to a plate under the gravel. No worries, I wouldn't risk my gar like that:D
