They all can reach sizes of 36" - 40" as I see parents in the wild easily that big.

Thank you. Those guys are very unique looking. Only a few in that tank are special gars. You can see the rest of the normal looking ones swimming in the background.

Also my pictures never do these gars justice.

Thanks,
John

They only are housed for 1 day after capture. Then sent to wholesalers all around the world. We have them 100 per tank, and in the vatts we keep 250 per vatt.

Thanks,
John

PS they are also kept on running water full time.
