They do best in schools, and if you ship 2, it would cost the same to ship 7
You decide. They only grow to 12-13", and are very passive.
One thing I LOVE about the Peruvian Gar is they swim like Puffer fish. They use top and bottom fins to 'flutter' like a puffer, and the tail to navigate.
They also have a flexible body, unlike true gars. This is an AMAZING effect when they are hunting. They will coil their body into an 'S' shape, just like a snake, before striking from a stand-still. I will have to get a video of them in action during the next feeding session.
