Alligator Gar Trouble

[Deadliestviper7]

I guess I’ll go for an intex pool and just put it inside our house. I’ve contacted many keepers and the nearest willing to adopt him is a 4 hour drive and I have no experience transporting fish, especially of this size. I’ll post a picture when I transfer it to an intex pool. Replacing it wouldn’t be an option too since I don’t keep fish anymore except for this gar, I keep arachnids now since they don’t take up much space.

Nice, love arachnids (please check out the thread in the other pets section), if you ever come out my way I'll tell you where to find some wild tarantulas

Good luck with the pool if that's the route you choose.
But transfering an alligator gar would be fairly straight forward. As already described in a cooler. Also alligator gar can breathe air so they would be even easier to transport. All you would really need to be concerned with would be keep the temperature from getting to high.

4 hour drive in a larger igloo cooler with a cheap battery powered air pump. Put the cooler on a floor Dolly before you fill up water so it’s easy to roll to your car. Only full as much as you can pick up. Obviously picking it up will take two people. But I’ve transferred wild caught gar this way with great success. If you decided am above ground pool won’t work.

The above ground pool would be temporary and not for life. I got my parents to let me dig up a pond on our backyard. Luckily I’ll have time to do it when the semester ends. For now I’ll be looking up those DIY pond videos on youtube

Seems cool! I’ll look forward to it.
