if he killed another gar this morning, the wounds probably came from that

dudee, a 3' tank is pretty small for a 14" gar..i don't think it'll be a good idea to have him there till may...

Yeah, I highly agree if your are up grading to a 3 foot tank, you should probly think of another fish to raise.
No disrespect, but could you live in a jail cell for life. I think the best thing to do is save a lil more to get a bigger tank. I would say atleast a 150gl. and you want leinght and width before height (i am reffering to the tank). Other wise you should pass for a while on the Gar. Just my STRONG opinoin

i agree...given it's a Florida/spotted gar, a 120g wide (4' x 2' x 2') would house the fish for quite some time, but a 180g tank (6' x 2' x 2') would be even better. you'll get at least several years out of that size tank, if not life. going with an intermediate 3'x 18" tank in may will be more or less useless, and perhaps risking a broken back as well--
