Did you buy the freeze dried shrimp the Florida Gar was eating? Hopefully the Gar will learn that the market shrimp is food watching tankmates.

Yup i have a good lid. He doesnt seem to be interested in any food. I tried tying a piece of shrimp on the end of a thread and moved it near its mouth still ignores it.
