Digestion GARS.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Gars are similar to crocodiles. Crocodile refutes the rest of the food (variant 3). I wanted to know whether it also refutes the GAR.

Madding: thanks for the reply. This means that the GAR digestion is the same as the normal digestion of aquarium fish.
 
rost, write ur question in slovak. Pej can understand you, and can help better. He is one of the experts on gar and is VERY knowledgeable
 
The question has been understood. Gar intake food, use the energy that they can from it, and excrete the rest of the material as waste, through the normal process of digestion.
 
Lepisosteus platyrhincus:

In the Slovak language:

Mám ešte jednu otázku o trávení Gars:

GAR zožerie rybu. Strávi rybu celú, alebo nie? Ak nie, zvyšok ryby vyvracia ústami, alebo vylúči konečníkom?

Rozumiete mi?

This is classic sticky material!:ROFL:

I would disagree with most saying variant two. In keeping of Florida & LNG, I have yet to EVER see one poop. I am sure that they must sometime, but I have never witnessed it. I can not say the same for ANY of my cichlids that I have kept. I'd go as far as to say that the Nile Tilapia fry that I bought this January (1 - 2" range) that are now all over 1' long have no turd cutter as they always seem to have a poo trail twice the length of their body attached to their anus.:confused:
 
Rostratusgar - A gar's digestion works the same as other fish. They do not regurgitate their food under normal conditions.
 
When your gars get very large you will see it, at least in mine I do.
