Nice fish! what size tank? I wish they only stayed like 6", same with RTC's, Pacus, peacock bass and freshwater rays, but would get adult coloring, it would be so cool!


thanx, it is a 180gal 6'x2'x2' heres a full tank shot i took a few days ago...if you look close between the tsn and the aro you can see the gar...the aro is a measured 22" fish for ref.

i feed market shrimp, fish fillets and minnows mainly...i also do wc feeders ex. small sunfish, bass, perch, crappies....what ever i catch...i also feed daily with a day or two off every week...i have been power feeding it to try and keep it off the menu for the tsns...they were 3.5" on aug. 11, 2009:WHOA:
