GARth Vader the lord of the fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Seen this before. Happens with gars and tanks. If it’s moving it’s tail and can swim and eat then best can be done. If it’s been 2 months and still here then it’s a good sign.
 
He loves having some cover, he doesn't really come out from under it too much, unless I walk into the room. Then he comes out to watch me and makes sure that I see him and his cute puppy dog like begging ways. I gotta try to not give in to him and feed him every time. But his begging is pretty damn cute 20201215_190046.jpg20201215_190031.jpg
He switched his head on this last one so now it's a super close up20201215_190114.jpg

Hes hard to see here(besides its not his head but like mid back) but it's the only top view of him there is. he loves his cover. He'll only come out from under it during feeding but I spoil him and just put the tweezers(he only eats at the surface, he'll grab pellets on their way down but if its too big for him[like massivore] and he drops it while trying to work it down he won't try to follow it) through the plants and feed him in the shade.20201218_184810.jpg
 
Good news. Gars are some of my favorite.
Good luck, hopefully it continues to recover

What is that really rough textured floating plant?

Good looking gar. Glad to see it is improving.
 
Beautiful progression! The back should heal up just fine.
