NocturnalX and Captain Happy

[NocturnalX]

greetings MFKers
just want to write a brief introduction of myself and my fish.
i'm 20 years old, have a business at home.
it's one of the reasons why i wanted a pet, because i'm always at home alone.
and i figured why not a monster fish? since i've been interested in them for a long time. specially alligator gars.

and here's my Alligator Gar, name is Captain Happy.
i know the name sounds cute.. for a gator gar
but i can't help it since a girl friend gave him that name and insisted that even monsters deserve to be cute too..
argh >_>

anyway here's some pics

nice gar, how big is the tank?

^
he's only around 6" right now so i put him on a 20g long so the tank won't look empty(as per advice of some members here)

but already starting plans for a pond for him. i wanna transfer him to a pond before he reaches maybe 8"-10"
(if the pond ain't finished by then, i have a 75g reserve on our old house. or i can just buy a large tank if it's needed)

every a temp at making a pond for my monsters has ended in a disaster so i gave up haha btw i love the name

haha why?
isn't a pond easier to have than a big enough tank for monsters?

 

[red devil123]

eh I think its easer setting up a big tank than a pond but thats just me and I dont have a hole lot of space for a big pond. most of me fish need a little bit more than a hole in the ground, if you know what I mean haha

 

[NocturnalX]

what do you mean? haha

looks like you've got a lot of monsters in there.

i'm content with only one for now.
but since he's titled as Captain.
maybe i'll get a First Mate too
