my 12" gar got murdered by nasty tilapia's in the pond :cry:
 
sorry for your loss man :(
 
This is sad :(

I never like to hear about a death of one of these magnificent creatures.
However we can learn from it a little if you can provide a little info.

What type of gar is this?
How long have you had it and how long was in the pond with other fish before this incident happened?
Were there any signs of aggression before this fatal attack?
Were the talapia the only other species of fish in the pond?
Did they "eat" the gar, or was he picked apart or was he just dead with no real signs of injury?

Sorry again for your loss, and we'll appreciate any details you can give.
 
was it a butti
