it's a longnose, as stated by some other members already, you'll need a large tank, soon.

I like your advice. I had already decided to not keep him with so many feeders from now on, mainly because I miss it when he eats. My new tank will be set up no later than Wednesday. I am going to keep the feeders in the smaller tank with the smaller gar, I named him Zebco. He is only two inches long and I want to grow him faster than Basin so I can put them together. Right now I think Basin would just eat him.

I love how you guys act like keeping fish that are illegal in your state is some big serious crime or something. Like the fish have some tracking device in it and when you get home the F&G are gonna kick down your door at 4am.
They just don't want people selling them or breeding them and putting in places where they are not suppose to be. If you just keep the damn thing in your tank and don't invite any F&G staff to your house for dinner then you should be in good shape.

Just go down to the damn water, catch the damn fish, put it in a damn bucket. Drive home and put it in your damn tank after proper acclamation.

We shouldnt incourage this kinda of behavior
