my new gar

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They're legal in most of the mainland, although different states have different regulations.

For whether they're legal in Hawaii, I checked Hawaii's Division of Aquatic Resources website and can't find any information saying they're illegal. I would assume this would mean they're legal, but I don't know Hawaii's laws specifically. You can contact someone with the DAR through http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dar/contacts.html Or e-mail DLNR.aquatics@hawaii.gov . Hopefully that'll help you!

Picked up a 110 gallon last night, so I at least have that to upgrade him to! 48" x 18" x 30" Any idea how long that will hold him?

you might have said it earlier in the thread, but what size tank is he in now? once i know this i should be able to give you an accurate estimation, and if not im sure someone can.

He's in a 20L for now. I'll be upgrading as soon as he's large enough. For now, I couldn't see him being able to find food in anything much larger than this.

i heard its good for gars to start in rather smaller tanks and upgrade as they get bigger and bigger to prevent them from inflicting injuries to themselves.
