I'm sure that everyone who has kept Gars of one kind or an other has had funny moments they've witnessed or goofy unusual things their Gars do. So I started this thread to get everyone to share what theirs does.
I'll go first.(go figure.) I have 2 Spotted gars that I got when they were both about 7'' long. They are now 12'', and 13'' respectively. I have 2 SEIO M1100 superflow pumps on one side of my 8' tank blowing a stream of bubbler bubbles,(yeah I know that sounds wierd.) towards the other end of the tank. Well both of my gars like to take a swiming start at the pumps and swim straight into the flow until they are about an inch away and then let themselves tumble backwards in the stream like a falling leaf at all angles until they reach the other side. They then do it again, and again, and again. Like a little kid going back to the top of a water slide. My smaller Gar always comes up to my hand when it's in the tank and rubs up to it like a cat would. And my bigger Gar will eat any and everything off the bottom of the tank including Earth Worms, Massivore pellets, Market shrimp, and get this 2mm sinking New Life Spectrum pellets.
Who's next?
