How'd he lose that eye?
not sure, I bought 2 of them and the owner gave me the 1 eye for free ( only saw 2 in the tank ). I believe he lost it due to one of the gars during feeding time, but the owner had no clue.
Has anyone witnessed such acts of aggression between gars? I know Demjor houses different types together... I've heard gator gars are known to munch on other kinds of gars in the wild..
Most gar when young are highly cannibalistic..It would not be a surprise if the fish was attacked by a conspecific. Even when older they really do not hesitate to attack and try to feed on smaller gar.
There is also aside from actual feeding various types of social aggression that occurs in groups of gar that can regularly result in minor (or sometimes major) injury.
