currently (gar-wise) i have one longnose and 2 cubans in a 6x4x2 tank...very understocked:P

also have 2 rays in there, along with 5 trops in their "pen":P

Very understocked indeed! Does the "2 cubans" include the juvenile you got from Angus?
 
5 trops! SELFISH!!! :(

haha, as long as they are past the size of predation danger from the other gars, he could easily keep them all in the current tank (obviously out of their pen)...it's well-filtered and bioload would be manageable (i have more gars in a smaller tank currently :)) --
--solomon

haha love the coining of the pen!!

will be doubling the filtration in the next 3-4 months:)

the trops deff seem to be benefiting from the extra space, largest is already @ 6.5"!!

how is doing 2 years of legwork and then opening the order so that everyone can have these gars available to them selfish?

heres it. check out its girth :D

the piece towards the right is thicker and probably bigger.

an estimate of the left piece is approaching 6.5" (had a ruler against it on the glass but the tail keeps waving around.)

as for the right piece, it should be bigger i guess. but it remains in middle most of the time... so.. cant get a safe estimate.
