My pride and joy!

Very nice fish! I'm trying to acguire some. I've had them before and love them. Next to the arrowana they are my favorite fish!. I also like the simple yet natural tank layout too.

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, right now gar are my favorite fish. The arrowanas are awesome, although I have never owned one. And that's exactly what I was going for, simple yet natural!
 
Nice tank and gar! Looks like you got some Cyanobacteria on the substrate there, tho

Thank you! And yes unfortunately it's not very pretty right now, but good news is I got it under control and its dying down slowly but surely
 
water lettuce or water hyacinyth. they are both hardy plants, readily availible, and have a decent root structure to provide cover. it's worth a try.more beneficial than detrimental. at the very least you have an aquatic plant to help filter the tank even more.
