it was probably ich
doubt it was ich...it takes a pretty serious infestation for gars to get ich as their scales aren't the same as most other fishes.

a photo would have helped, and it is doubtful that that one spot was the cause of death of the fish. sorry for your loss...gars are generally very resilient fishes, i hope you are able to find another specimen and try again--

i put a vid on you tube of it. sjjvikings72 title: Spotted Gar and it wasnt ich. i think it was a fungus. i bought some pima fix the day before it died. he was soo cool he trusted me because he would hand feed. i can get another one but im trying to get a motoro sting ray.
