Alligator gar broke his back help

[Jwalin]

Well this is my first time on this website so I don’t know what I am doing . The thing is I have 3 alligator gar the biggest one is 24-25 inches second ones 22-23 inches the smallest one is 18-19 inches and this smallest guy broke his back .HHAALLLPPP! What do I do ?. I really love this fish . So all three gar are in a
(50 ‘ long by 6’ wide pond 2’ deep) pond probably close to 4000 gallons . One of the gar has a spine break which I think is from hitting a lotus pot too hard
WHAT DO I DO ?

Can it still swim? Depending on age and severity it could heal fine or may heal with deformities. Clean water and food is all you really can do.

They all are close to 7 months old and if was to guess it does look bad on that gar but it can move its tail

You can’t really heal an internal injury besides good water changes. I had my 14” Florida gar break it’s back this year, and sadly it didn’t recover and passed on. I couldn’t treat it with any medicine since it was an internal injury problem

Well luckily the gar seems to have healed somehow there still is a bend in his back but it is not as severe as it was

Is your gar still alive? How's it doing?

Yh fat and healthy
I actually did a water change in the pond and measured them gar. Two of em are 28 inches and one is 24 inches . I’d say it’s decent growth considering they less than an year old .
I plan on upgrading them from 3500 gallons to 25000 gallon next year
