what type of gar would work best?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
id say florida gar they grow to like 24" max and aligators will eventually need a pond as they can grow to like 6ft i think...
 
yea fla gar or shortnose gar they stay around 3ft...but a alligator gar thats a dam underwater dinosaur hence the name alligator gar....
those things are beastly and average about 6ft plus..
u could try ur luck with a long nose gar those are sweet lookin but they can rarely get about 4-6ft...
most stay around the 3 ft range.. and im betting since hes ina tank hell stay around the 3ft range...
 
Yeah, I would watch for for redtail especially; you'll be surprised of the fish they've eaten... I've read many instances here on MFK.
 
make sure the gar is a good size bigger than the cats
