While not a TSN keeper - i can tell you that they grow fast too ^^ the growth rate supposedly rivals gator ...so gonna be a monster in no time

btw, so how about them pix, ey?

Sorry mate I will definately post them tonight. We have had our hands full with our little girl Lola who is one month old and I am trying to do my share when I get home and not disappear to my fishroom, the shed or get in the internet to talk about "FISH". I am very lucky because my girlfriend is very understanding but I am mindful not to push it and show an interest in other aspects of our lives.
So please be patient

LOL ok the reason I said I hope you don't mean TSN is because either the gator or the TSN have a good chance of eating your other fish before they get a chance to mature, in which case a 500G should be ok.

I know Gator dont sweat it mate.
Aussies don't take things too personally.
I just had to state that I am not totally wet behind the ears and that I am aware of my choices and their future consequences.
I know where your coming from when you talk about predation and have planned possible sperate grow out tanks for them.
But I will go with the community set up for as long as possible and feed often.
By the way I dig your tank mate.

I paid $320 pretty pennies for mine and that is on the cheap side.

Here are some pics of the fish I am currently growing out in various tanks (55g) before they progress to 180's and then into my coming 500g. Excuse the flash and the shadows as it's daylight savings time in Melbourne and it's quite bright in my fish room at about 6pm.
The Temensis wouldn't come out as they are still quite small and timid they are housed with an equally small and shy TSN.
I included my new RCK in his log hide out in my Saratoga's tank and a bad pic of my little CKF in with the Emperors and Monoculus.
Sorry my camera and photography skills leave little to be desired.

Nope

$320...

Not cheap hey!!! Mainly because they are on the grey species list and are considered a rare exotic species. Highly colletable though and I look forward to raising him with the idea of moving him into an outdoor pond.
Do you know what temps gars can tolerate in the wild (lowest) ??
I want to know if heating is a must in Winter.
