Give it rosy reds or feeder minnows; it's still too small to be taken off of live food.

how long do i wait to switch over?

Wait until it's around 8" long to try to switch it to other foods; it should reach that size in no time if you make sure that it has food available at all times.

Remember to size up your tank accordingly bro...
too small...and u will cramp the fellow up
too big... and it might hurt itself as it rush to hunt for food.

Bait and tackle store minnows, they're easier for the gar to swallow than feeder goldfish...
