which gar to get?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What are the dimensions of your 150? No true gar can live for life in a 150, but it can be a niice growout tank for a smaller gar.
 
in that case a short nose can live in there

iv heard they only attain 18" in captivity
correct me if im wrong but that all ive ever seen

I'm going to be moving in a couple years and then I will be building a bigger tank so a 150 should be good until then, right?

if really smal then it would be pushing it
 
if it is a standard 150 then it is 18" wide. i would give most gar species about a year before it is time to upgrade to at least a 2' wide tank.
 
I'm going to be building my tank to custom fit in my house right now. It's gonna be about 21" x 24" x 70". All the measurements are within an inch of the right number, I just pulled a quick measurement right now.
