^^? poor gar? Stunned ??? come on guys. If the owner didn't do a good job of taking care of the fish it wouldn't grow that big. Honestly.

if he took care of it properly then why is it in that tank?
and that gar is meant to grow more than 3' and it'll be hard for him to reach that length in that tank where he can barely turn...

cuz i've seen a huge gar a few months ago who was throne to the desserted pond and was recovered at about that size...

well.... i can't really tell cuz who knows if he just placed the gar there so he can take a good pic. and that the gar had a better home or whatever.

but that being in the phils, thats highly unlikely.. sadly, i only know a handful of filipinos who know about these...=/ mostly mfkr's haha

look at this guy...3 feet long and still growing! if i only had space for this guy...

how old is this fish?
 
alligator gar is good to eat, in South Texas it is called catan.
 
i'ts a beast! poor gator!
 
i agree with jordan how old is the fish. cuz if it isnt that old why make its life miserable by putting it in that tank.

Really?
I heard gar meat was kind of slimey and that there bone marrow seeps into the meat and makes it taste bad.

This is a total lie spread by those that just do not know the fish for it's worth... Gar is quite good (especially Gator) and is way better than the crappy gamefish such as Bass, catfish or panfish which is called "good" by some... I'll take a Gar anyday over some of these tasteless fish.

For the record Catan is the Northern Spanish name for Gators..
 
thats is being sold for P10,000 or about $240 (still negotiable)

the 3 foot gar
the stand and the aquarium

its 4 years old.

but wait hold your horses dont hate me im not the owner just saw it in the adpost. the sellers name is Nei sarreal

i got 1 too 14" bastard BITE! ME! the other day while i was taking the stones on his aquarium out, it was like 50 needles hit my finger at the same time. no feeders for 1 day! just to get even ^_^
 
poly, maan, ur like the ultimate expert. haha. i mean, ur knowledge even reached the point of knowing it's taste!!

i wonder how it tastes like....=/ fear factor? haha j/k


bows to tha master!
