My two gators and FL in a hospital 120 gal tall tank (5'x1.5' footprint) about 4 years ago. All three at about 2.5'.

None with me anymore. The gators (rescued fish from upstate NY that I brought with me to FL) grew to 3' and got stuck at that size. FL gar was fished out by an eagle from my pond I surmised. Gators I killed by a miscalculated medication dose. about 2 years ago.

Solomon! Good to see you posting on the forums!

Nice gar! I'm sure you have been following the reintroduction of the alligator gar to IL. Exciting!

I had him in a 150 gallon aquarium until he was 24 then moved him into a 110 stock tank because of the larger foot print and thats a Bestway Rectangular pool (94" 59" x 23”) with a pond liner. It may not look great but it works and it was cheap.
