Just picked this guy up yesterday, just shy of 2 feet. He's in with my two bigger gators which are approaching 3 feet.
Newest Gator Gar
- Thread starter pharmaecopia
- Start date
I consider him to be a little guy still, at least in comparison to the two bigger gars in there. They are almost a foot longer than this guy. The second pic shows the size difference between the 3 pretty well, if you look closely you should see the two bigger guys under the small one.
Trying to grow my littlest gator up enough to put in this pond. Still has about 6" at least to go.

All of them were purchased at larger sizes actually. They had either outgrow their tanks to the point they were longer than the tank was wide or for the smallest guy the previous owner realized that he couldn't house it long term and sold it.
From talking with the previous owners though the two biggest gars both between 32" and 34" and roughly 2 years old. The 22" gar is roughly a year and a half. The smallest guy is a guess prior owner only had it 2 weeks and it was picked up in pretty rough shape. Had some hlle that had resulted in quite a bit of pitting in the skull, most of which has healed up, as well as being really skinny. The bad care and slow growth this one has shown make me thing its probably around 2 years old.

hi friend,
I have some questions for you. I want to build such a tank, too. What size is your tank? How do you built it? I think the material? Thank you for your reply.
