View attachment 1462004my handsome long chonk

was it your gar that broke its back?

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

The longnose gar record is close to if not 72” If I remember correctly. But probably closer to 48” in a home aquarium

8x4x3 is a pretty large tank ?
I'm planing to upgrade soon, too. My new teugelsi will need a larger tank, than my current main in a few months and my polli is getting larger than it should, too.^^
But i'm not planing this large... something about 6x3x2... so i think no gar for me. ?

IgnatzMcJockel a florida gar would work.
