  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
nice fat gar.

awesome balck and white pics.

and.....

an intresting arguement (maybe discusion) too....

;p
 
just tried something, i threw in about 10 feeders and 3 pcs of prawns, and yet somehow the gars went for the prawns instead:)
 
look i started out giving advices just like you all were. i was not contradicted i was attacked visciously...with big words that scared me.

Like previously stated: a glass box is not nature. If you want to observe nature go outside.
well apperantly a chain link or concrete enclosure is good enuff just ask Polypterus.
we are all here to learn, and none of us knows everything, but you should trust that some of the people here do have more extensive experience with certain fishes than you do.
i mearly gave my opinion. if you guys were here to teach and learn you wouldn't be so hostile
I'm not OK with this...In this case I'm going to confront you and not let up on it...
and self righteous
I go to a zoo 5 times a week for 60 hours+ and work with animals that would make you pee your pants to have to come in contact with so I Still have to ask you... WTF????
.
We feed tigers chopped Horse meat and canned food... They like it....
next time you throw a big horse meat steak in the tiger cage, jump in there and act like a jack ass(i know your good at it) and have some one tell me which one he preferrred.
Interesting I've spent time in water working with Lepisosteids normal people flee from....
this doen't make you brave or smart...but it will make you maimed or dead...pfft. dont trust me, ask Steve Erwin.

you guys need to look at my posts carefully
Why?
to give a correct and appropriate responce and not talk out of your butt, which by the way your good at. it is a bad habit though, that you should consider dropping. even if my posts were stupid, by not taking the time to read them how can you come up with a good response.

if you guys are done flaming me. which is not OK in these forums. i'd like to ask some advice, for the benifit of my gars of course. is anyone interested in answering me or will i just be attacked again???

hey Xander, same thing happens to a broken horse when you pull on the reigns. its called a conditioned response, kinda like the way you were brain washed by society. think out side the box dude, don't be small minded!
 
ask away...

if your opinion is not correct, or at the very least not in the best interests of the fish, then you should be able to accept the fact that others will disagree with you and attempt to provide the correct information. what you do with it from there is up to you, but don't expect people to be eagerly willing to help if you aren't willing to listen to reason and experience. you've done a good job of alienating yourself from some of the better resources available here in terms of gar-keeping. i'd suggest shaping things up on your end, and then people will be willing to help you--
--solomon

ps-- i think it's been readily established that aquaria are not a natural setting, there are ways of adding some natural aspects to aquaria, but that's about the best we can do. i'd suggest dropping that debate as it's going nowhere and not helpful at all--
 
rednhot...do you have any other pets? Dogs? what do you feed them? I would certainly hope you're not taking them out of their element and feeding them dog food. They are, afterall, decendants of wolves, who eat raw game and scavange...so you scrape roadkill fo ryour dogs??

All that's left to say about this thread is that it's getting a little off topic. I'll admit, I keep coming back to look at this for the responses to certain comments, but *shrugs* I say we let rednhot do what he/she will want, we all know our gars will look better and live longer.

Just my .02

what would even be better is if someone actually retained some knowledge from these debates. having an opinion is great, but ignoring valid information that others are providing is somewhat obnoxious. sure maybe we havent worded things as nicely or as simple as many need to be able to comprehend what is being said, but if it's not undertood then just ask for further clarification. we have been providing much info that has been completely disregarded. i say if one wants to feed live food to there gar then let them...
 
I know that I've gotten quite a bit of info from reading posts by Jordan and Poly...and it's made a remarkable difference in the way my fish look and act....healthier, more robust colors, more active etc., so they must have some merrit
