A friend told me that a small LFS nearby Lisbon had gars. In my country we rarely see them, so I went there to see if it was truth.
Well, I found seven babies that looked really good! the owner told me they had arrived 1 week ago and they were all eating.
I asked him to give them what they were eating and he put 4 pieces of frozen silverslides. After a couple of minutes 3 of them went for the food. Amazing!
When I asked for the price....another wondefull surprise! All 7 costed what I was expecting to pay for one.
I couldn´t resist and brought the all pack home!
These are my first gars after years considering them and reading about. I hope I do things right.
I put them in a small 30g tank (connected to the main system that has around 1000G) as their first growout tank.
Here they are, just a few minutes after they went in:
FTS
and the little gars
One final Q: they were imported from Asia as spotted (ocelatus) but they´re most likely floridas. Do you confirm?
