Sorry for your loss, man.
As I said before, I'm not surprised that particular tropical gar was the culprit based on their murderous nature while in their previous owner's aquarium(s). I think it would be a smart idea to move it to another aquarium before it starts systematically taking out the other smaller gars considering that it's killed at least three tankmates by now.
thanks.
i was told it was fine with smaller gars. if i remember right it only took out or partisipated in taking out a ray. this is the smaller trop that has done this. the bigger one is fine, that one is the one from h2o's 4k display. this smaller one (the problem one) i am not 100% if h2o brought it in for mike or if this was one he got from another member on here.
i cant move it out because at this time i only have a 125gal as an option and it is 20" or so. that is also the tank my hystrix is in and it has killed one of them before. so that leaves me with the options of wait it out or sell it. i dont want to sell it. so that leaves me with waiting it out. the next smallest gars in the tank are 13-15". them being my cuban, a lng and a florida. the only one i am remotly concerned for would be the lng. my other 2 lng are 18-19" but this one is 13-14". not very girthy like the fl or cuban. i can tell you this if it starts f'ing with the cuban it is out. i am going to try to increase the feedings to try and curb the aggresstion. i am going to have to do some filtration boosts though. i may this weekend put my 1000gph hydroponic system into effect.
man do i have some thinking to do...
