My new gator gar

[Polypterus]

He looks tini at 16 inches in the 450 but it won't be long before that changes.

Way skinny get some food in that fish..... You should never see the belly concave like that.. Bad sign really bad sign....

I am so jealous, they are illegal in Idaho.

as richard said, fatten him up just in case you didnt know and it worries you; around this size he will slow down growing length wise and thicken girth wise.

well he ate a 6 inch flag tail so fat he is getting.

And the trend continues. Gator Gar really do not play well with others. They have a drive to feed like no other.
