Hi all,

A few days ago I caught my first Spotted Gar to keep as a pet, and I hope to add one more spot tonight and a longnose Gar on monday.
I keep them in a 700gl Stock Tank. Is 3 Gar (2 spots and a longnose) to many for a 700gl Stock Tank?

Below I have a few pics of my first pet Gar.

yes this should be plenty of room.
 
Thats what I thought but I wanted to know for sure.

Also, The Gar I have now just sits in the plants for most of the day. For the first time today I saw him crusing the bottom, and snap and a crawfish. Is that normal?

Also, I have some small sunfish, crabs, and minnows in the tank as food. Is that good enough?
