Hello everyone
Right, first question on the forum.
I have just ordered a spotted gar at 6 inches and i am told it will go to about 12 inches in a 5ft (100 GB Gallon) tank.
At the moment I have 3 Soribum Limas at around 5 inches. An armoured cat at 6 inches (will get to about 9)
Will these sizes be OK?
Will their growth weight increase about the same?
But are they compatible?
One reason I ask is the temperature at which they flourish in. I have heard of nothing more than 72F for the gar but this will be too cold for the Lima?
The other point is that how low in temperature can the Gar go, reason being I have a unused tank in the garage that could grow them on but at its lowest it could be 40F in the Winter.
So many enquiries but I want to get it right here.
Many thanks
