Alligator Gars From LFS ( LOAD WARNING )

[benzjamin13]

Very Cool Gars! Too bad Gars are illegal here.

Those are great shots. I hope you tell them that Arowana jump too in case they decide to sell some of these. Maybe the gar is still alive under a aquarium. How long can they breathe from their swim bladder?

Thank you, it should have jumped after the LFS was closed and discovered the next morning. I am not sure how long an Alligator Gar can survive out of water, should vary among sizes...so long they can remain damp they can survive I believe, once getting dry with its slime coat damaged..that's it, death comes in its way.

They do sell Arowanas and cover them, I don't know why they didn't do it with the Alligator Gars until they learned their lesson.

Nice looking gar but way too big for home aquaria.
