Hello, I am interested in collecting and rearing fry of Bowfin as well as spotted and longnose gar. I have not yet done much research into the gar species but have read and watched everything I can find regarding bowfin, although that is not much as it seems they are rare in the trade and info is sparse. I would like to collect numbers of fry of these species at sizes 1-3" and rear them until they reach 4-5" at which point I will keep some and sell or trade the others. From what I have seen bowfin are not terribly difficult to care for at this size but can be very territorial and aggressive and require heavy cover, ample food and dividers to insure a high survival rate. I am interested in any and all info that can be provided on this topic as well as some general info as to the prices and demand for these species when sold. From what I have seen bowfin are generally very hard to locate and tend to be priced between $60 and $200 depending on size but would like to get a better idea of what is average and how in demand these fish are when availible for sale both locally and online (ebay etc). From what I have seen gar are much more readily availible and tend to be in the $20-$40 range with relatively high demand for tank sized fish. This is the best information I have found on rearing bowfin thus far, it has been helpful. http://www.nanfa.org/articles/actankbowfins.shtml
