alright, well good news everyone, Lep was right it was not a parasite because the white soars have started to peal off and fall off his body. so im guessing it was just slime coat that he scraped up and it turned white.

lol. gar are very resiliant fish. A gar with ich is dead already, lol. and for something like that popping up on a gar, that gar would have to be very very sick already.

id stop buying live food. well maybe as a snack after a quarantined period. you said the silversides work, stick with that. maybe after they get used to silversides, try thawed shrimp. my gars go nuts over it. they eat 3-4 shrimps and 3-4 silversides a day...PIGS!!
