Various factors such as water quality, feeding quality / frequency, other husbandry variables and the fishes own genetics are also involved. Above is a rough average of available information from multiple sources. This is a reference table only. There is no guarantee that every fish will follow the same rule. The general rule (and the one to follow) is to keep an eye on your fish and adjust it's situation on an individual basis.
nice fish and set up. and smart move by removing the snakehead. but do make sure that nothing spooks your gar cuz that could cause him to crash into the side of the tank and break his back. i know this has been said but it has happened to me. just thought i would throw that out there.
