need help on my gator gar!

[franxzm]

I used to have bichirs and plecos together with my gator but it attacks them 1 by 1 even they are at the same size and it is well fed. I already lost 1 pleco and the endlicheri and florida gar had torn fins and wounds caused by the gator. How can I make my gator more friendly to it's co-monster fish?

welcome to owning a gator....

 

[franxzm]

thanks...any suggestion? I'm planning to buy another gator so that he will have companion in his pond because I find it boring to watch my gator off with the community. I hope he won't attack it.

that's a horrible idea. gator gar are very aggressive. it will only worsen as he ages. he needs his own massive tank/pond or at least one with bigger tankmates than himself.

Ah so I should put bigger tankmates...I already move him in his own pond. The gator that I'm planning to buy is the same size with mine. It probably won't attack the new gator tankmate.hehe thanks for the infos,man!
