Last week, I got a new Florida Garfish (about 5-6 inches).
Eats a tonne of small goldfish, and some frogs, but it's still rather thin, compared to others I've seen. Also, when not swimming, instead of laying on the bottom, it floats right at the top. It's fin is literally sticking out the water when he floats. Is this normal behaviour, or is because I have a 10 inch Black Ghost Knife Fish lurking around the bottom and often nips other fishes tails? Also, how often should I feed him?
 
Gars kind of do their own thing, I have a 15 inch gar and he eats about every couple of days. I feed him feeders, market shrimp, whiting, salmon and hot dogs.
