Bought a new tank mate for my jardini today, its a gar(not sure of the type) . I m posting a pic of him also. Please suggest me methods to make my gar and jardini eat arowana food sticks. I dont knw why my jardini hates food sticks(shop guy said its a very good food(OCEAN FREE arowana sticks).

im pretty sure thats a longnose gar (max of 6.6ft long ).... gars are super strong hardy fish
and not to agressive so u should be good
currently i have a florida spotted gar.
here is my big boy

i had good luck and got my gar off live and onto any type of frozen
his favs are silversides and krill
give him a goldie every once in a while tho keep his predator instincts intact

ya gar is never gonna be in a big enough tank..... you would need a tank that is at least 16 feet long and 6 feet tall and like 12 feet wide
