i guess getting them on prepared food is something that comes with experience.
it is fun to watch them hunt live prey, but most feeders are very unhealthy for them to eat.

with any level of dedication i am confident that all gar can be transitioned over to prepared foods. most people who say they cant do it just dont care enough or take the time and try. every gar i have ever owned has taken prepared foods...some being more work than others.ani-mal-lvr;1618753; said:
All very good points. I have 4 Gars, and consider myself lucky that they eat prepared foods.
Great lookin Gar!!! Be a shame to lose him to a bad feeder.
