Ended up getting 2 alligator gars one platinum the other one other gold . The albino has had an explosion in growth in past month he grew 4 inches and looked like he doubled in circumference. Platinum might have grown an inch 2 at most. The only issue is he is now bitting everything in the tank from Albino chines perch 8 inches (too tall to swallow) 5 inch fly river turtle 10 inch RTC paroon shark hybrid and a 12 inch long nose gar. Not one fish in there is he remotely close to being able to eat. Only thing he doesn’t go after is my NGT datnoid who attacks him when he attacks tank mates. It’s like he is doing it just for the fun of it. There is no way he is hungry with how much he eats. I heard about this behavior but thought it was over hyped. I also heard it stopped once they hit 2 feet. My Platinum gar has none of these traits.
It’s psychopathic behavior the below Paroon RTC hybrid is rounder than him. When he bites he doesn’t let go. Im really at a loss does he think anything he bites he can eat? He got barbed in the mouth by my stingray and he couldn’t care less. He eats a half a fillet of tilapia a day so I know he isn’t hungry. Now I am looking to buy a second tank until he calms down. To migrate these fish into.
Any recommendations or did I just get a problem child?
