I am so pleased with 2 florida gars I recently have, they only about 5inches and they just love eating small fishes I gave them, and thats the only food I give them,
I put around 8 small fishes in the tank, then I left them for about 2 hours, and the moment I came back, there were only 3 small fishes left, I guess my gars were having their party, lol,
but they do went on diet I supposed, they ate alot on one day and eat less on the next day, I guess this is normal, dont wanna get too full maybe,lol,
anyway just wanna share this in the forum, no wonder they can grow bigger in a short time,

cheers

nice! you'll love them. they never fail to suprise you with their antics! little advise thou, get them off live foods and onto prepared, the sooner the better. feeders(which i assume is what you mean by small fishes) just aren't very nutritous and hold many paracites. oh yeah, post pics!

great fish! try to get them off live for sure. throw some krill and stuff in there. gars are opportunistic feeders.
