Im in a problem can anyone help me?

[Deadliestviper7]

Its kind of not possible because my second one cant have a lid its odd shaped

Net, cheap fits any size or shape

 

[Deadliestviper7]

Should i give him? He may even leave them in the lakes or rivers but that could destroy the ecosystem cause they are not native where i live ! They are big enough to survive and their life span is around 30- 40 years and there hunger is enormous they tried to bite me and you know alligator gar could get big and they could eat a lot of fishes

Keep the gars, many people can't own gars because it's illegal, why not just make a pen for the aro in the gar pond?

 

[Deadliestviper7]

Don't euthanize the fish.... there is nothing wrong with the fish, or the pond, you just want one smaller so you can get an aro, correct? THat's putting your selfish wants in front of the life of your pet.
Just either wait for an aro large enough to live with your current gar; or find someone to take the gars, or don't get an arowana. Shouldn't just go killing your fish whenever you want a new one...

Only a psychopath does that

Why do you have to return the aros? Why not grow them out and then add them to the pond when they’re bigger

Bro that depends on whether which fish is growing faster if my gar get around 20 my aro should be around 12 or 13 its said that aro grow quickly in average but and individual can be different and my gars are growing around 1.7 inch per month they got 13 in 2 months they were 8-9.5

I think that your aros will out pace your gars and I wouldn’t worry about the aros getting eaten once there a reasonable size

Looks like something unfortunate happened can anyone help me with this (see that small white wound on 1 of the gars snout)? Is it harmful or should I leave it like that /i personally think both the gars were fighting for one big peice of meat i threw in the pond actually i threw 2 or 3 small and 1 big but the gar who got meat first was attacked by the other one they went inside to fight so i couldn't make sure what happened could it be that the other gar did this ? If so how can i solve this

Looks like a very small wound, those things happen, Iwouldn't worry about it but keep your water very clean to reduce risk of it getting infected. Could treat preventatively with melafix if you are worried about it; melafix fights infections.

Over five + decades I have wound up with fish I no longer wanted to keep. My take has been they are my responsibility so I have keep them. As luck would have it these fish seem to live an extra long time but so be it.

Back in 2012 A L001 of mine killed all other plecos in the tank and won't allow any. I hate this pleco. He still in the tank today. It's like die! But it won't come from my hands.

Probably just hit something, it should be ok, can someone else grow out the aros for you? Once they get big enough they can be put with the alligator gar
