gar in a 135

[snowy]

Could any species of TRUE gar be kapt in a 135 for life? The dimensions are 72x18x25.

 

[Deep Blue Sea]

I wouldnt think so

Others will tell you NO, but honestly you could keep a FL gar in there for life. The 18" width of the tank is a little rough but it will work.

Agreed. If not for life for a long long time.

Only if your okay with stunting your fish and severely shortening it's lifespan. If so.. then yes you can.

i'm curious, according to who?

 

[msjinkzd]

I would say no. They just don't have the flexibility to turn comfortably in an 18" wide tank.

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

possibly. most likly not but possibly. fl is ur only bet

Okay, would a 125 72x24x17 work/

P.S. I'm mostly thinking about a shortnose. Would one or two shortnoses be able to live in either tank?
