I have lots of fish but that one is our baby... we say he is like our classroom puppy. Totally interacts with the kids. The best seat in the room is next to Gary.

Silver Gars AKA fresh water baracuda's are easy to keep.....Fun to watch eat feeders too!!

incredible... a 20 years old fl gar in an aquarium environment. Nothing has gone wrong (a leaking tank; a failed thermostat) during the course of the last 20 years. What a lucky gar!

Is it really? I'm not so sure about that.. At least not when talking Captive fish.

I've heard they only reach 30 inches in the wild, but I guess I need to check. No idea on captive size though. Please correct me if I'm wrong
