My little tropical gar just came in this morning. I thought we could all share pics and updates every so often to see the different growth rates. Include information such as diet, tank size, and water change schedule. Also it would be nice to see how they all act. Look forward to hearing from all of you tropical gar owners out there. Here are pics of mine. He has not yet eaten but he has only been here about 2 hours now. We're starting him out in the 30 with the baby longnose. A he progresses we'll update pics.

Nice pickup!!! I wanted one so bad! But with the espense of my daughters graduation, I just couldnt swing one atm.
I'll just have to live vicariously through your pics and updates. So keep em comin.

your trop is beautiful! i cant wait til mine starts eating. earlier today i was wiggling a small piece of krill on top of the water and he swam over and took it, but spit it out after chewing it for a bit. im sure he will start eating soon though. what brand of pellet were they eating?

i would love to see a 32"er! please post a pic of him if you can!

thanks again mike! it was a pleasure dealing w/ you!
 
The coloration Jordan will change markedly as the fish calms down and relaxes. These fish normally take about anything food wise so I would not worry much about feeding...

Good luck with him and I'm glad you got one!!!!
you can get a hold of me on CLO if needed....
