Alligator Gar Temperature

All my gators have been with other tropicals so my tank is alway at 74 to 80 degrees and all of my gars have always thrived and grew very quickly and thick as far as 61 to 64 I don't know cause my tanks are never that low I would think they could handle it just because they are very resilient fish but I'm not saying yes that it will be okay I'd wait and see if others comment if no one else comments then I know 70 degrees or higher will be okay for him

Their original range in the u.s. was very very vast until they were slaughtered in the 50's. Im in ohio and they ust to b very common in the ohio river which recieves snow. I have 5 gators and keep them all around 70-78 degrees. Just because they could tolerate the colder temps doesnt mean its best. 68 degrees should b the lowest temp for them id guess....their range now is somewhat south...texas, lousiana, florida, kentucky which all have a fairly warm seasonal temp.

I've seen them thrive in the nastiest, warmest rivers and feeder creeks as well as cold brackish water. I don't think you can kill them if you try.

It's gets pretty warm in the glades in Florida haha don't worry about it being to hot.
