Hello everyone, i'm Ronaldo from Tabasco, Mexico. I currently own 4 beautiful Tropical Gars (Atractosteus tropicus), i'll post some pictures once i get used to this thing.
What part of Tabasco are you from? I spent a day in Villahermosa (almost twenty years ago...) waiting for a bus to Oaxaca. Parque La Venta y las cabezas Olmecas, lunch, and hanging out in an air-conditioned shopping mall for a while is all I remember.
I am very jealous of your gars, I would like to have one, much less four!
I'm precisely from Villahermosa. It's a little bit different than 20 years ago but beautiful as always. The shopping mall you're referring to is Galerias Tabasco 2000, very close to La Venta Park and it was the only shopping mall here at that time
I'm getting rid of 2 of my gars beacuse of the space, i currently have the 4 of them in a 100 gal tank and their average size is 1'6", that's just not right for 2, much less for 4. i'm releasing 2 of them in a sort of reserve lagoon a friend of mine has in his ranch.
