my pilipino(longnosed)gar

[GAR08]

Hello everyone!!!!
I just want to share my Longnosed gar

+/- comments are welcome!!!!!
I try feeding it with shrimp(sometimes),feeder katabas(guppies) and feeder goldfish.
MFK users what is the max.size of the longnosed gar?
should I try pond or aquarium when it grows up?
it is ok to feed it 2X a week?
sorry for asking too much questions


thanks!!!!

First of all. looks like a Florida/Spotted gar to me...Will reach approx. 16-17" (if it's not there already) and then it will be quite slow growing from there with potential of 24" although I don't think I've seen one in aquaria this size. Does it ever eat the shrimp you offer? Feeder golfish are not good for him, so try getting him on pellets and shrimp if he isn't already.

thanks sir for the information but it doesn't like the pellets I offered to him he likes eating feeder guppies and at night the black spots or color of the gar became white weird?

agreed....
doenst look like a longnose.
looks like a fl/spotted to me as well.
as for feeding,i think hes big enough to starve and you should get him onto shrimp,pellets etc. a varied diet.
itll get to around 20+ inches.
thoguh there are some which will get slightly bigger.
