We need to do somthing about all the careless people with pacus in 55s and anything under 500 gal for that matter. like a big sign by their name that reads I HAVE A FISH IN A TANK THAT WILL BE BIGGER THAN THE TANK. pacus have no place in private aquariums as far as im concerned. with the exception of people who can properly house one FOR LIFE!
hhhmm lets blast the Pacu owner instead
So whats the difference between his Pacu and your Long nose Gar?Kinda like a long nose gar in a 90 gallon that can reach probably over 54"hhhmm lets blast the Pacu owner instead

Even better you have one in a 90 and seems that is never gonna house your long nose for life... Here's another one

But maybe i should have asked what you were going to do when your fish outgrows your 90....? Instead of ridicule maybe we should be informing people and looking at OUR OWN signatures with fish that get over 5' in them. Suggestions are better than ridicule don't you FEEL the same?
. my uncle has a PRIVATE pond stocked with bass and bluegill and he asked me if i could get him a gar or two for his pond. I know how big the gar will get, but he is going in an established private pond.i have a 5mos old 9-10in in a 65g they do grow fast.i think if figure at least 3ft wide tank in the near future you should be fine.I'm looking at a 300g wide right now.and looking in to building at least a 1500g pond in my basement.just love these fish.i think with a little planing and ambition they can be given a good home.....
