Well, I was moving one of the shortnose gars from the 55g to the 125g with the others. He was pushing 13", and was past time to be moved. Well, he didn't want to go, and unfortunately my biggest net is only 10" wide 
. He splashed water all over me getting him out of the 55, and then just as I was dumping him in the 125, he flipped his tail, bounced off my chest, and landed on the hardwood floor. He sat still for a second, then started flipping around. I got him back in the net and dumped him in the tank.
He seems to be swimming around fine, and doesn't seem to be stunned or injured in any way. I'm gonna keep an eye on him, but is there anything else I need to do?
Oh yah, I also moved the spotted gar into the 55g from the 20L. He's at about 9.5", since he almost didn't fit into the 10" net. He's a much brighter silver base color than the shortnose, but with much darker spotting all over his body. I'll take some pics once he settles in.

I've already got a more than two footer in the pond!
