Have to agree w/ Rocky. My gar used to take everything... shrimp, krill, earthworms, pellets, algea wafers, even flakes!!
Awesome pic there...man look at those teeths!!!
my spotted gar doesnt eat pellets but just about any type of frozen food (krill, silversides, bloodworms, etc) and he love feeders as well
although gars usually dont swim around alot in the aquarium, they are some of the most interesting predators to watch eat - i love watching the stealth approach of my gar when going after feeders, he is completely motionless while the fish just swim around hi mouth and then...SNAP... he grabs one, flips head first and chomps it down.. really remind of the fish version of a gator the way they eat
feeding a variety of foods to your fish is always important, and althoug some argue against feeders, pellets and frozen food just is not the same with some fish!

nice gars. you should try feeders atleast once if you have never seen gars eat live foods before
Thanks bro! This gar has actually already bitten a family member while feeding... drew blood and everything?!!
