Florida and Longnose Gar

[King-eL]

Here are some pics of my Longnose gar and Florida Gar.

Longnose gar
It's still skinny as it recently accepted eating pellets. It's a lot harder than I thought training a longnose gar to accept pellets compared to a florida gar.

Florida gar
The Florida gar's patterns looks like crap, as I notice that Red substrates seems to make them look like crap and not very active. I later put the Florida gar back to Black substrates and it's back to his old behavior and the patterns darken up.

nice gars! my florida gar only eats pellets. at first when he was smaller he ate white clouds, now hes a bit bigger he doesnt. does your florida gar swim just at the top of your tank or is it all over??

Thanks! My gar swim all over the place and will chill out at the top or bottom when they are fully feed. It will sometimes beg for food, as you can see in the pics of Florida gar. The tip of the snout is kinda rubbed off cuz it's been rubbing the nose every time it beg for food.
