since our Longnose gar started growing very slowly due to a poor diet of live feeders could this have possibly stunted his growth? he dose seem to be growing now that we finally got him on krill and pellets, but he quite literally went 2 months w/ no growth at all.
hey jordan,
that does seem unusual that he was growing slowly, but i wouldn't really worry about it stunting him that badly that early on. in fact, i often times start my very young gars off with feeders (rosies, not goldfish) as it gets them growing pretty quickly early on, i then switch them to shrimp after they are anywhere from 3-5".
i'm sure he will start growing faster for you now, and as long as the diet is healthy, he should be fine. from the pics, he looks like a healthy fish to me--
