ok i am really new to gars and i worry too much
anyways i got one more thing clarified
one of my gars is very very pale compared to the others and also is pretty dull
always sitting at the bottom or floating at the surface
is there anything wrong with it or is it just me being hyper :screwy:

shall post pics by evening
 
guys can nobody tell me whats happening
 
dear honey bunny, :naughty:

don't get panic, it is normal ok.......

just try to post some pics of your gar u consider "having problem", gar is a tough fish, may be he just still need some adaptation....

:naughty::naughty:
 
should be normal they are the type of predators that sit and wait until something tastey comes along

They are??? OK sure...

I could not tell you if something is wrong with it as I know nothing about your tank, water conditions etc. It is likely nothing.

got the gars 3 or 4 days back, 4x 4" gars(florida spotted)
they are in a 90g tank(30"x30"x24") along with 4x 5" senegals
water was cycled for two days before i added the fish

i really hope nothing is wrong
and for sure nothing tasty is gonna come by his way if he is gonna sit and wait as i don't feed them live food, maybe later, when they have grown a little more
