20" Lithodoras and Alligator Gar

[ZOO YORK 207]

Decent shots I took of the Gator Gar and Lithodoras Dorsalis that Kevin brought me today, the Lithodoras is finally swimming around more, and the Gator is a beast.

The Gator Gar Kevin got from someone who obviously took bad care of it, it had some major scale damage done to its head, as you can tell, but it's actually healing. The Lithodoras looks damaged because it's old and from transporting, he'll be healed in no time.

That full tank shot is so Monster.. Get a couple more fish in there and it'll be straight outta a Monster Fish Keepers book.

And yeah I'm pretty sure that Lithodoras is very very old. And apparently very fat.. But after a few years in the hobby I've never seen another in person. Gar should heal with good care and a continued balanced diet.

Great pickups, hopefully they get in perfect condition in no time
