20" Lithodoras and Alligator Gar

[ZOO YORK 207]

Yeah, I think the Lithodoras would have to be like 5+ years old, it's huge. And I have a few fish coming Tuesday just you wait Kevin.

well to be OG you have to be a member since '05......

guess your getting back into the hobby again.... nice pick ups pat... what kind of camera you using?

 

[ZOO YORK 207]

Thanks Nic, it's a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S85, I don't think they make them anymore..

nice.....but IMO you shouldve gotten a variety of smaller gar species.
thatd be cool...

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.

good to know...
when I was picking up my Peacock Bass from a seller on Monday,he had three Aquariums,one with Malawi,second with small Peacock Bass's which are mine now and swimming in my Aquarium and with 2 small Florida Gars (not mine Gars,I didn't buy them but they were in same aquarium when seller was giving me the Peacock Bass's) and in the third aquarium which was only 150cm X 60cm X 60cm and it's was only 500 liters and the guy kept in there a adult Giant Gourami and a Alligator Gar which was well over 3ft,very poor fish!
I asked the guy why those it keep it in that small aquarium and he answered to me that he doesn't need any bigger aquarium as all what this Gar those is Laying down on gravel !
WONDER WHY DID HE LAY ON THE GRAVEL FOR ALL DAY!

I feel glad that I rescued those Peacock Bass!

Eh, I don't really like many Gars, I've kept many Florida and Spotted Gars, I just wanted something new.
