A few pics of my Spotted/Florida Gars

[Idealconcepts]

I have two Spotted/Florida Gars in my 180gal with about 7 Bichers and a Convict. The Gars are about 13-14in and about 8-9ins. All are an pellets. I had 4 small Longnose gars a while back, but the tank crashed and three died and I got rid of one (sold it) before the tank crashed. Enjoy.

Thanks. The blue is cool (my white balance was set in correctly for these pixs), the streeks aren't. It's my 180gal tank in the spare bedroom so, the outside of the glass isn't kept up as much as the other tanks in the living and family rooms.

awesome

Thanks.

Thanks. You can't see it in the pictures but the larger one has a very different pattern on the underside of his belly.


It's interesting how many owners have had the larger one. I picked it up from a LFS and they told me it came back twice from two different owners in less than a month. They said the fish would attack all the other fish, I'm willing to be the owners put them in with small tankmates and it tried to eat them. Since I have had him with the smaller gar, the larger one has had more nips on his fins than the smaller gar.
