Identify my gar and give some comment on my tank setup and tank mates, thanks.

because my place here is limited, not many people have this kind of fish here, mostly they buy it and mix it with koi, if i want to make a tank for them, how big should i build for them, the only material for building the tank will only be glass, cause i ask whole town people make 8 foot tank for me, they just refuse, they say its dangerous might break. any suggestion? would like to hear from u

i would just keep the oscar alone as a wet pet, but if you are persist on keeping the RBP, ( pacu or piranha? ) then a 8 foot 300 gallon should be fine for a school of them with nothing else.. ( if pacu, dont bother, you would need a pond basically )

Look at the DIY section on plywood tanks. The redtail will outgrow that tank in a couple months. I would definitely invest in at least 300 gallons.

that looks like an alligator gar to me but pics arent great. If so i hope you have a pond

didnt see bottom pic at first but it looks like a florida gar. again pics arent the best

Same here looks like a Gator Gar and sounds like somebody didn't do their homework before purchasing... But a plywood indoor pond or plywood tank is definitely your best bet.

i believe the answer your looking for is a florida spotted gar looks like a shortnose it can get 2 to 3 foot watch the oscar he will kill the gar definently not a gator gar they are green

the first to pictures is an Alligator gar, the third picture is a Florida gar! and you will need at least 5000 Gallon(19000 liters) for a gator gar and about 180G(680 liters) for the Florida gar but bigger is better..

DEFINENTLY NOT A GATOR GAR!they are green and do not have needle teeth head structure is more like a alligator they can get 8 foot!the spotted longnose and shortnose are mostly what is sold!

It's a gator gar. they are the biggest in all gar species! You'll need a pond.
