Tropical Gar!!!

[E_americanus]

t-gar is looking great jordan, good to see all the updates.
mine are currently doing well also; they are all right at about 9.5-10" and eat like pigs. i mix things up with (primarily) chopped shrimp, pellets (earthworm sticks & even veggie sticks), and occasional rosies.

will post pic updates sometime when i get the chance--

cool! i'm glad to hear yours are doing well! i am looking foward to your pics since they all seem to have such different markings and colors.

mine is pushing a foot long and i just put him in my 180 a few days ago due to him killing one of my cichlids while he was trying to eat it. he is doing awesome in there too.

great gars, you people pay to get a tropical gar and here I can fish them for free. I haven't go out for some t-gar yet but i'm thinking about do a nice trip to collect some natives (including t-gars, it's ilegal but they don't mind if I get only a couple), I have to take advantage of gars breading season( i think its in this month...or not?)

The trop is finally big enough for the 180 with my Florida gar. I put him in there about 2 weeks ago and so far things are going great. The trop. is growing steadily and is catching up to the Florida more quickly than I expected. I had an official measurement yesterday and he is at 11-1/4"
