Getting a Long Nose, have questions!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ok, it's definitely a Longnose...i just wanted to verify that. Nice fish...awesome pattern on him!
 
Isnt that a Asian Aro (RTG)?
Cause it was bought for 2000$ and im afraid it is a Jar not a RTG!
 
Personally, I think it looks more like a jar, but I really don't have much experience with either specie. It's shorter and the fin shape is more like a jar's, but I really can't confirm that. Either way, it's a beautiful fish.
 
Ok so should i put the gar in the 140L (100cm x 30cm x 45) tank or tha 400L.
 
make sure it has plenty of room to turn. but dont give him enough room to get the speed to crash into the side of the tank and break his back. what are the deminsoins in inches rather than cm.
 
I'm no aro expert, but it looks like you have a nice little RTG there...

it's 2.54cm per inch...get a calculator.

if the gar is 7-8" then a 29-55 gallon should be fine. just make sure the fish has plenty of room but at the same time dont give it to much room. and BTW im not good with math.
 
The 40g tank is 40"x12"x18".
