Indoor Pond for Gator Gar

[Noddy]

Dunno if I'd go for Gator, but the pond is cool.
I'd get a couple of Florida's or other Gar instead.

interested in the size of this fish as well

The gator gar is about 2 feet. I bought it 6 months ago and it was 6 inches back then.

The gar in its new home.

very nice. are you going to landscape the pond for the gar's sake? i'm sure he would be happier.

 

[m245]

Sure, I'll buy something to decorate the pond.

hey guys
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i am mighty impressed with the outdoor pool.can some one point me to any link detailing how to go about making such a tank.
My searching on the www tells me that there are 3 methods for such a tank for a DIYer.

01.2 layer plywood (spaced by 2-3" vertical stiffeners) laminated with grp OR
02.Metal frame used some where? OR
03.Pu foam core panel used with the GRP lamination.

appreciate any help in this area.

Cheers!

Wow.. I wonder what happened to the gator now..

i would definately not suggest cubans unless you have more experience with gars(frm personal experience). a school of floridas, spotteds(now tht they're available!!!) or trops would be your best bet.

Do cuban gars need special care or something?
