Atractosteus spatula

^^ actually i wish that i raised gar and paimas together ... did not work out well for the silver aro in the past though ...it got trashed and later died of injuries (so it could have went bad also).

I will move my paima into gar tank (2x3m) in couple of months. The problem is this: my paima tank uses salt while the gar tank is salt free. could be unpleasant for paima i think. Contemplating building another 2x3m just for the paimas....

PS: the two gars that i have live peacefully with 2 RTCs since i first mixed them. They eat exactly the same pellets and other live food -absolutely no agression. yesterday added two 7" pacus (roll the dice on this one - good chance that RTC will eat them but pacus were competing for food from two silvers)

Now that I have found out the gattors can cope with cold water I will have to seperate so I can keep them in an unheated pond all year round , it costs alot here to heat a large volume of water.. I will have enough probs with the gigas ( and I am eyeing up some RTCs as well)

I have found that most things like to eat silver aros , hahah we have lots of cheep jardini and lechardi over here so might ad some of them if it looks a bit boring with just gigas and RTCs

Its a pitty that gigas /gattors and RTCs are so $$$$ over here

i had no idea gigas were like that when hunting. learn something new every day.

Yer they really go off!

I have kept fish for 25 years + and am still learning new things everyday!
Seen some fish on this site I have never even herd off!!
