My new Gator Gar is growing by the day sometimes even by the second feed of the day I think he looks bigger.
What are some other fast growing fish??
I have purchased three small Temensis and I am interested to see if they will keep up.
The Gar is a pig though.
 
yea u had better have a huge tank for those
 
They are in grow out tanks but I have a 500g coming after Christmas.
The Temensis are 2inches and the Gar is 7inches now and growing by the minute it's insane. He even thinks about my finger if I put it in there for to long.
I also have three Emperor Cichilds and a pair of Monoculus with the Gar but he is out growing them and he gave them a fair headstart.
I have the Temensis in with a small 2.5inch TNS I hope to also add to my 500g.
 
Sorry..."foot prints"??
 
I am having a 500g 8' X 2.5' high X 3.5' wide tank made for my fish to move into.
So it should be enough for all but the gar in the long run.
 
I always wonder why people tend to transform every thread into a tank size discussion....

I have never seen any fish grow as fast as Gator's.....It has to do with their need to grow very fast in their fisrt life stage in order to survive. It slows down, after that. But the first growth spurt is incredible.
