He's very healthy! Thanks again Chris...BOTR;2644422; said:Huh? That gar is actualy slightly overweight. You do not want them to have too much girth.
I'm not going to lie, there are other fish in the tank, some which you may say are not good mixers. I have crushed shells in my filter to buffer the pH, but like the look of aragonite and will replace the substrate.xander13;2644448; said:atractosteus(cubans gators n tropicals) are very much stockier than other gars, the cuban looks fine size wise from what i can see in the given pic. i hope it's going into a primarily gar dedicated tank and not a community!
ps aragonite sand keeps the gars gold and stress free
