Should I?

gar apparently tastes quite good if it is prepared correctly...ask brook or thousands (possibly millions) of people in central america who eat them as part of the local fare.
that being said, just make sure you don't use too many chemicals in raising the fish as this gets transferred to you when you eat the fish (depending on the specific compounds). and of course...don't eat the eggs unless you want to get quite sick.--

PS-- i had plans to do this with an arapaima but he just won't grow!!!

I hear they taste "muddy" but I also hear that about Catfish and I think Catfish taste fine providing they're not big Cats.
SORRY BUT 
SO YOU WOULD WASTE MONEY ON GROWING THIS GUY OUT THEN EATING HIM I THINK THE GAR WILL GROW ON YOU AND YOU WILL END UP KEEPING HIM

i agree with himLOL... That's so funny. I did that with a Oscar when I was a kid. I grew it to a foot and I was so going to eat it one day until my dad (He's a Dr) started yelling at me and telling me that I was going to get poisoned from it. I see his point, but I still think it'll be ok.
