Does anyone know why Florida gar will come to the glass and start shaking and swimming erratically. Almost like a siezure. It's weird happens once every couple days.

mine does that ever so often, though not at the glass per se. Curious to see if anyone has a reason for it.

Check the nitrites. If there are any they will do that. Mine will even do that if the nitrates are high.
