newly accquired 19"+ Long nose gar.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
those definitely seem to be under more appropriate lighting (for the gar anyway).

what's the largest longnose you've personally kept, and did you catch it at that size or raise it from a significantly smaller size?
 
Why did you cut the cadual fin? Torn fins will heal, but if you cut the fin, the regenerated fin rays will never be the same as the original and often times will grow back unevenly.

Nice fish though.
 
hey p45,

the longest longnose i have kept was probably around 18" long...maybe a bit larger. it was kept in general isolation while i had it and released back into our research area. i raised it from about 2.5" all the way up to ~18". they grow extremely fast in their first year. the quickest i have grown one up was from 3" to 10" in 21 days.

all but the longnose in the headshot image i posted were wild caught as they are quite plentiful in our research area. these two little ones will hopefully be powerfed and released into a private pond to help control some centrarchids :)
 
Damn that is an awesome tank.

Beautful fish and incredible dats :drool:
 
whoa..... seems to be adding new fish every week bro. nice gar. love ya PB too. very good colour.
 
FORGET THE GAR! I LOVE THE WHOLE TANK!!!!! :hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts:
