I realize this starts off as mainly a photo thread, but I wanted to post in regular forum since it's been a while...more updates on fishes, etc etc coming in the relative near future. hope you are all doing well here in the gar (and bowfin!!!) forum!

We had a big transport event today, so here's a shot of one of the main groups :) --

nice cuban gars
 
holy cow, that's a lot of Cuban! did you breed them?
 
They are a nice size.
 
thanks for the comments guys, they are enjoying their new home (as far as i know...will check on them again this afternoon) in a large ~250 gallon round aquaculture tank at one of our labs (N=42 in this shot). they were currently used in a pilot-pilot feeding experiment, and will be in holding pattern until the next one starts up.

kevin i will have to check the data logs (i had some of my students working on the project with these fish, so will have to get the summary info from their books); some are definitely much larger than others. all are pretty good eaters at this point though...one even tagged a student that teased it by putting their fingers into the tank!--
