i thought i mentioned this in the original posts, but to clarify it is currently eating fathead minnows which were from a series of research ponds (as per the protocols of my experiment). they can easily be switched to non-live by the usual transfer techniques.--

how long do you guess this fish will actually get?

difficult to say, i would guess a few inches shorter than a typical spotted gar, but then there aren't many who keep actual spotted gars in the hobby (therefore that estimate may not mean much to most of you). he's got a tank to himself and has been eating quite well, so it will be interesting to see how much he continues to grow before tapering off for the season.

will try to get more pics soon--

I see, i was thinking about possibly getting him however i don't feel i can house him properly. He is a beautiful creature and i would greatly love having him. however I currently only have a 55 until the end of school and i get my own place.
 
i bet Neo is gonna get it :D. he has "almost" every odd ball. ;)
