So we have all these great Gar stickies for husbandry for Gar.... But what about Bowfin? because I just went to the Shedd Aquarium today ( big downer i must admit, more and more seaworld esque common crap tanks) and saw bowfin in the NA tanks... and before that the MIlwaukee zoos NA set-up ( which was btw better then Shedds... crazyness..) All I saw where cute puppy faces... so I want one.. and I come here and find no sticky about their basic care and husbandry in captivity?...chop chop! lol.. So..
Can you guys give me some basics on these guys? includeing what tank mates are and aren't suitable and a basic run down of what I need to know in deciding if I wnat to persue this route?.. Ive seen enough threads on how delciate they are as babies.. but how big do they get ect in captivity?
would one be suitable as a sump fish? instead of a Sal? or do they need alot of swimming room ect?
