please id this gar pls..
4 weeks ago when he was about 25-30cm he ate my 14cm RTG aro.. i found his tummy was so big and the aro dissapeared. the next day when i did WC i found many aro scales under the decor, which confirmed my believe the gar was the culprit.. obviously because the other fishes i had was flowerhorn and oscars which wouldnt be able to swallow an aro.
1 week ago when he was about 35cm, he killed my 14cm kamfa flowerhorn. i cought him red handed with the kamfa in his mouth, he didnt manage to swallow it, but it was too late for the kamfa.
all these happened when they were in 50 gal tank..
just 2 days ago i got my 285gal tank, and also another aro, 35cm crossback aro, at first he stalked the aro, but now it seems he doesnt mind it.
is he a alligator or spotted/florida gar?.
were all the killings due to a cramped tank? or was it just because the gar just being a gar?
