Spotted gar has no teeth?

[HungDang]

Hey, yes your gar does have teeth and a lot of them.
The reason you cant see them is because when gars are small not only there teeth are tiny but the can almost be see through.

I think you didn't read the thread at all, it is not a gar!

Hey guys, I rang up the place today (ripples in bridgemere) and the manager said i could have a refund, im off school after wednesday and then a week after that so ill order a real gar from this kdc aquatics place when ive got my money back and then ill have an update when i get my real gar. What do you suggest, a spotted gar or an aligator gar? i know gators grow huge but i could sell it on if it got too big..

 

[fishwhisperer]

u wont be able to sell it, or release it, get a FL or a short nose or a spotted, unless u plan to build a pond

 

[Piicklez]

oh okay, spotted are nicer looking anyway. just out of curiosity why wouldnt i be able to sell it? because no one would buy it?

 

[pharmaecopia]

Pretty much. There are very few aquarists that will take large fish. And given how gators behave towards other fish that limits it even more.

the only reason an aquarist keeps a large fish is due to the bond created at a young age.. no one wants a miniss just cuz its a monster

The fish has been replaced. I've now bought a rtc and i ordered a spotted gar, but the guy messed up the orders and sent me a tsn instead, i put the 4 inch tsn in my big tank (LIKE AN IDIOT) and my litteler oscar ate him, so i managed to get him out but he didnt survive and died about an hour later(made a thread about this). After all of this i've still not got a spotted gar. Is it not meant to be?

First question is how big are your tanks?
Unless you have or plan to have very soon a huge aquarium eg 500g + don't bother with the rtc or gator gar as trying to sell these huge fish in our country is going to be a major problem as there isn't the amount of mfkers as there is in the US for instance.

What is the meaning of miniss?
If it means keeping it, then...
Me...

I've always loved fish, i have a pond in my back garden which was totally natural, and i used to re-arrange the lillies and take out all of the 20 years dirt at the bottom. i keps a pet frog in a mini pond i made too
