How big is the gar? How big is the tank it’s in? What are I feeding? Is it otherwise acting normal?
My gar is around 5 inches.
Currently keeping in a 40×30×30 tank, i only filled it to 21 cm height.
I bought it 3 days ago.
I am feeding him live fishes that are not sold as feeder fish. I am plan on training him to eat pallets.
I also notice the pectoral fins is unusually shorter.
My gar does come up to the water surface for air even though I have an air pump sufficient for the tank size.
When he is hunting, half of his bottom body is pointing downwards while the other half is horizontal as if the bottom half of his body is sinking.
I will try to get some pictures if he starts moving again.
