I'm fairly new to the whole gar scene, but I was wondering if it is feasible to keep gar in a pond? The pond is about 40ft by 80ft, with a maximum depth around 6ft. I crunched the numbers and came up with a rough estimate of about 97,200 gallons total volume. I currently keep smallmouth bass, walleye, and other river fish in this pond. The bass do spawn in the pond, so food shouldn't be a problem, right? I know that spotted and longnose gar are native to PA, and alligator gar used to live in PA before humans killed them off. Any opinions on the possibility of keeping gar in this pond?

With a pond that big there's no reason to get the smaller gars. Yeah get the alligator gars, they get over 5 feet. :)
