x2 one of those answers.. if you have to ask.. you probably shouldn't be trying to keep one. while imo they are easy keepers.. they are not for the average hobbyist... and xa billion on suggesting a florida gar instead if you want a gar. I love my floridas... I atm own 6 gar... not a 1 is a gator... because I simply can't house one. I have a TSN and RTC hybrid... I'm more confident about houseing long-term then I would a gator gar. They are also extreamely aggressive and tank-mates are considered potential food always... that being said.. most don't get over 4' in captivity.. idk where people get 7' or more.. they can get close to 11' in the wild though.
was easy to pellet train. They just get lazy like a floating sausage after being used to feeding. Mine will actually stick his snout out of the water when he wants food. They are like giant children lmao always complaining about something
out grow arapima? in the wild, they might get bigger than 10ft after live for like 80 years. In captivity, the arapima will get to 6ft before the gar can get to 3ft with a normal feeding.
