Don't get it unless you have a big pond . Youll have a problem once it grows bigger.

I understand the size... would I be able to house it with my other fish?

The dats seem too small at the moment, I'd be cautious

That's what I was thinking. This gar is the best one I've seen this year.. and small...his pattern is so clean no rips in the fins and active. And he's fat

I'm not familiar with gar growth - they're prohibited in Oregon :irked: - but that Niger will outgrow your tank in a year or less. If you have plenty of space I think the knife and the catfish would be fine with the gar.

Why not get a more manageable gar species rather than gator?

LFSs usually carry Florida gar rather than gator gar, are you sure it is a gator gar?
