my florida gars

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
good. then it might not be stunted!! good that u gave it a better home though!!
they look well fed!! what u feedin?
 
im still feeding a good bit feeders, ive actually only had these guys for a few wks so i havent really tried many different things. theyll eat blocks of bloodworms and actually will pick massivore pellets off the bottom. but mostly feeders.
 
they are eating blood worms? nice!! should be easy to get them to eat other thing then. GL!!! U do realise that u are now hooked on gar right?
 
hahah, yes im totally hooked on gars man. i guess sometimes an impulse buy is a good thing. theyre all still doing good in the 120. my uncle is finishing the stand for the 125(72x18) now (not real sure when it will be done) but that will be a little better than my 120 (60x18), which will be replaced. i know its not a huge difference but it will work for a while and still fit in my house. were still lookin to move as soon as we find something. then, im just gonna shop aroudn for a good used tank, 180 minimum, but im hopin to snag something bigger.
 
yeah 180 is good depending on the demensions. the extra length will be good too. just FYI building a pond is much more cost effecient. though u cant see the gar in them. just top view. which is why when i build mine im putting an under water camera in :)
they arent expensive!!

(man i still cant make coherant thoughts. massive house fire last night )
 
i just want the standard 6x2 180. larger if i can find a bigger tank. i honestly think since my dad can make me a stand out of aluminum any dimension i want it, i may just make something of my own. i dont know yet. with him and my uncle doing woodworking, i have pretty cheap resources, well and with me hauling trim and moulding, i can get some nice stuff for cheap/free.

and i dont know how you guys do it. but, someone has too and i know we are all thankful for your time!
 
if u can go bigger go! homemade is cheaper when u get really big. ponds are really cheap considering the volume. like i said just get an underwater video camera and have it linked to a tv.

and thank u!! it can be hard(im unbelieveably sore, luey decided to pull the 2.5" hose, standard for a fire is 1 3/4 inch at 175 psi. 2.5" can nearly lift me off the ground. very hard to handle. need strong person to back u) but i love my job. Nice to know some people out there appreciate us!!
