Digestion GARS.

[rostratusgar]

I have one question about digestion Gars:

When GAR eat fish and spend it all, or not? The rest of the fish vomited mouth or anus eliminated?

Do you understand me?

The same question applies to the feeding of granules, pellets, etc..

i have no clue what you just said. lol sorry

 

[p2daj21]

could you rephrase the question?

 

[Ancient_Fish_Master]

are you try to say do gars completely digest their food? if so, ime yes, my florida gar never throws up any food.

I haven't heard of regurgitation being a routine part of a healthy gars feeding habit. But I don't believe that they expand as much energy as they consume. This is probably one of the reasons captive gars get so fat, and is also why we should watch the amount of food we feed to the larger specimens (since they no longer need that much energy for growth/development?)

Of course, this is in reGARds to captive gars.

Write that question up in slovak... I think I can understand it better than through the translation.

I know my gars can be very picky eaters.. so sometimes they will take a peice of food initially.. but may spit it back out. My one florida has also "spit out" live feeders but usually grabs them back up. he's repositioning it to fit into his stomach better I think.

I graphically depicted. Sorry for the English translation.

It should always be variant #2 in a healthy fish.
