[Terrorblade90]

hello, I would know what is the smallest species of gar, because I've a 576 litres aquarium (footprint 6'x3')...and the ancient fishes are TOO cool!

How high is your tank, like 35-36cm?

No, 80 cms/24' and 8"!

 

[Polypterus]

Or better, what is the smalles tropical gar?

Atractosteus tropicus.... Your tank would be a good fit for some Florida gars also..

there are no subspecies of gars. the smallest is the shortnose, L. Platostomus. but they kill themselves to often in captivity before reaching adulthood. so as said before you will be better off with a tropical, florida, or spotted gar.

120x60x80 centimetres are approximately 150 gal./576 litres.Why the shortnose gars kill themself? It should be the best for me. What is the maximum size of a florida gar in aquarium? Can I keep he with a Jardini arowana and a Crenichicla (there is also 3 Polypterus)?
