spotted gar

[kido]

i'm not sure if they get that big in captivity.. mines in only about 17" tip to tip and it been with me for 3 years now.. eat's pretty good too so i don't think that its underfed.. they probably stay below 2ft in the captivity..

i have a 14" spotted gar and she's feeding fine but is there a size rule in terms of what to feed her? just worried i might be feeding too big for her...

as long as the fish can swallow the food item with minimal difficulty you should be ok. gars are generally gape-limited, so as long as they can get the food down, they should be fine. what kind of food are you feeding the fish?--
