Hi!
Sorry for this newbie question but Im just new to Gars. I was thinking which is the correct tank size for a spotted gar. I was also thinking which fish species can be kept with it. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hey chief there is no correct tank size biggest you can get is the solution. Smallest would be about 6x2x2 hope this helps

Actually you're looking for a tank 30-36 inches wide.-Anne

Agreed, gars shoot to 12" in no time. They don't ever seem to stop growing either. They get big and like plenty of room. No way a 2' will suffice for more than a year or two.
