i am thinking about getting a gar? The will be put in a 125 gal or a 180 gal what is the smallest growing gar and also what gars if even can be in the 125 gal or 180 for life .
shortnose gars can clear 30" in the wild, and the record is around 33".ESJBond007;1347072; said:Short nose gar are the smallest gar species which only grow 20 inches in the wild which would not get as big in a home aquarium. If your tank is 24 inches wide it will be big enough tank since gars grow so long which a 180 gal wide would be your best bet..
