I got her from my local LFS/Reptile Shop in November last year. The owner is a friend of mine & knew i was looking for a Gar, so 1 day he rang me and said "Ive got a Gar in, do you want it? 15 pounds". So ten mins later I was there picking her up.
The first time i saw a Gar
was a Alligator Gar ( about 18-20 inches ), in the same shop about 18 months ago, and as soon as i saw it I said "got to get me 1 of them!!". So, I did some reading up on Gars, and was spellbound by ever aspect about then. So thats when I became fascinated by these beautiful, ancient fish, & Ive never looked back since.
