My name is Louie and live in Canada`s capital.
I have been in this hobby for the last 15yrs and have owned pretty much every type of freshwater fish.
One day I came across this website and decided it was time to jump into a predatory type of fish again.
I had red belly piranhas before but wanted something less skittish and less of a messy eater.
Last week at my local fish store,a customer traded in his silver arowana and gar as they outgrew his 55g tank.
I always wanted an arowana but because of their size,was not in my budget.
So the gar came home with me.
