Growup tank setup for Florida gar

[Karalak42]

Hi I just got 2 spotted but Florida of course gars 3 inch needle thin

And was wondering wat was the best setup for the first 3 months and food and temp
I was thinking about a 20g tank 2x1
72f
And feeding bloodworm.

What do you think?

Thx

That sounds good for now. When they start growing you should switch to more nutritive foods. I'd keep the tank around 78-80

Hello, can I ask where you got your gars from? I'm trying to find a small juvenile. Every page I checked they are either sold out or already 12".

I’m uk based so they changed the laws banning alligator gars and other species except Florida gars years ago and it seems most places now just don’t stock any as a safer option
