thoughts on hujeta gar???

never kept these before but they seem pretty cool only have kept florida gar and the longnoses. hoping to get some more longnoses.

they are timid, so easily fall victims to the bully.
anyway they are interesting so keep them if you have a chance

I think the true gars are much cooler, however the "Marble Gar" which has a similar body structure to the Hujetas (if I can remember correctly) is pretty cool.

I've had them before. I really like them. They don't get that big and can stay in a group. They'll seek out feeders like the big boys. If my tank wasn't already full of top dwellers then I'd get another bunch of them.

Especially if you don't have a big enough tank for a true gar (most people don't) They are extremely fast swimmers and very good hunters! A very cool fish that can live peacefully in a 75 (4"x18"x22") and can be grown out in a 40b or 55gal for some time.

I could never get mine of live feeders and seeing him hunt was awesome! One time he struck a guppy so hard his lower jaw went thru the gill of the guppy and the guppy was just stuck their for awhile
