Tank is looking great. Any plan to add some other gar species to the tank?

I would like to finish the tank off with a big long-nose gar. Been looking for a while but it's hard to find big ones :(
 
Amazing Michael ! If I had a tank like that I would get in soooo much trouble cause I wouldn't Ever get anything done

Wish you woulda said that a few monthes ago a LFS in Mil had a nice 24"+ here that I just couldn't justify putting into my smaller tank. If he pops back up I'll let you know. They might ship since it was a pretty large store.


And I'm not sure what I'm more in awe of.. the fish themselves or the tank... Love the set-up.. love the stock.. love the foot-print. and love the aussie.
 
I love all the gar, and a Longnose would top off that tank. Do you still have the one gar, I believe it is/was a Xanthic?
 
I don't have it anymore, unfortunately. Kind of a sore subject for me, so I'd rather answer PM's about it then derail my videos thread.

I'm still looking for one for you, but I have had no luck with finding longnose gars this year.

Maybe you should try getting Cabela's or Bass Pro to sell one of their big longnose gars; it seems like all of their stores have at least one big one.

Worth a shot!

If I had more time I'd drive upstate and try to catch one of my own.
 
Beautiful Gars and setup! :drool:
 
A longnose would be a great addition to that tank. Have you seen if John could get you one. I remember a thread where he posted a 20"ish longnose that he had sold.
