Hey everyone, I recently got a very young florida Gar (about 3.5 in. ATM), and was wondering on what I should feed it.
I know they only eat live when young, and had a group of guppies for it to eat. However, it completely finished them all in a few days. My lfs says they only have goldfish and rosey red minnows in stock, but I am leery of using those as feeders due to both disease and thiaminase content.
What else could I feed it? I have some ghost shrimp in the tank, but it doesn't seem interested in them. Should I get some minnows from a bait and tackle?
