I have decided to document my alligator Gars growth rate.
They were both purchased at 3inches 2 weeks ago. Their diet consists of feeder guppies at the moment, when they hit 8inches and i will try to lean them off live. They are currently I'n a 29gl. I will gradually move them I'n to my lager tanks as they grow.

Last time I was in Singapore beer was $8 per bottle. Canada the beer is so cheap I think I had more money when I left the bar :)

Thankfully, I don't buy too many Alligator Gars.............

Too bad the price is so much out where you are. Where I am I usually see small gators for $30-$40. One store had some 4-5"ers two months ago for $16. Was tempted to get a couple more.

Are you planning on putting these guys with your stingrays eventually?
