nice, ive always wanted one of these... the last time i got a gar it turned out to be a fake gar and didnt make me very happy. But i paid the extra and got what i want... and suggestions with these fish? as for food goes i was going to keep it on the same schedule as my pbass...market shrimp, frozen krill, silversides and mix of tuffies, comets and minnows
okay first of all most people will never encounter a real alligator gator because as their anme implies they get as big AS AN ALLIGATOR heres a picure for reference
that pic is of not a gatorBIGMONSTER;1447760; said:
and gator gars are available with out much trouble
at least where i live
okay type in alligator gar in to google i know this because i almost planned a trip around fishing them
ok now taht we have that nailed down on what type it is, is there any kepping gar specfic things i should know? water temp, gravel, plants, food anything at all to help this little guy grow faster so he wont be picked on by the bass haha
water temp for optimal growth/health would be around 27-28degC. gravel doesn't to much to the growth of the gar, but darker gravel gives them more contrast in their colours. food wise gars are not that picky. but i'll steer clear of goldfish feeders, for they're rich in fat and have backbones, along with a vitamin B destroying enzyme.
as for plants, how big is the gar? and what size tank is he held in?
--a final note, gars do not generally do well with bass.
