picked up 2 spotted gar from some bloke off aquarist classified for £40 (about 75 bucks) today. they're 7" and 9". not kept gar before so any advice would be more than welcome. never seen a spotted gar in england let alone kept one!
on my way back i stopped by a pretty cool lfs in a strange named place called "badshot lea" where i saw to my surprise a solitary 1" fish labelled "siamese tiger fish" for fifteen quid ($25). bloke knew absolutely nothing about them and so i tried to get greedy and talk him down even more and only paid a tenner (about 17 bucks!) but i'm sure it's an indo. could anyone confirm for me whether it's an indo or whether i've just got the steal of the century! it's got a beautiful full necklace whichever it is and i can't believe the markings are so strong and stable considering i took these 5mins after i released it into the tank having just got back with it following a 2 hour car trip. here's a few pics
