MY NEW FLORIDA GAR, I NEED SOME CONFIRMATION

[Hot-Rauder]

Why/how did he pass?

Also, LOL @ the 2 foot Gator Gar in a 75 long.
Wait, maybe now I think I know why he died

He died from a digestive problem... He was eating fresh sardines and I believe the were too oily for him. He only ate them for 3 days but didnt pass much after them... He then got sick and wouldnt respond to any laxative treatments, or bacteria treatments.

He was my first gar, and honestly my favorite pet/fish ever. He is now at the taxidermist.

Damn, I have fed my boy some sardines as well... What are these "laxative treatments" that you speak of?
