Cuban gar/true spotted gar comm

[Villa_Kwan]

Hi all bros... As a gar lover myself.. I'm considering to make a Cuban gar or true spotted gar comm.. Any bros here did before? I'm towards a Cuban comm.. Any opinions? Haha!!

Hi bro,

What you planning to comm them with?

I do have 2x Cuban & 1x Florida comm with 5 bichirs.

Planning to get a new tank by mid this year and comm the above with my Aro and Pbass but no idea will it work out too.

Just to share =)

[Villa_Kwan]

Hahaha thanks for sharing.. I have a fgt with 7 different gars now.. With some catfishes.. Planning to get a tank just for Cuban... Mayb 7-8 Cuban with some birchirs

[Jackyx]

Nice! That many cuban is gonna be super cool.

The feeding will be breath taking.

Anyways whats the tank size u planning on?

[Villa_Kwan]

6x3x2.5 or 6x4x2.5... Haha still considering.. Seeing if any bros had this comm before

most gars are quite docile when they are well fed.
i dun forsee any problem if u meet the 2 reqiirement.
1) comm gars of similar sizes...too big diff, the smaller pc is gonna becum a feeder
2) make sure they are well fed... a hungry fish is a angry fish.

Btw, watch out for your bioload...their shit is :eek

A bit boring for me to see a comm of gars,mixture of breed and other types of fish will be nice.
Dont think your will have any problem to comm the cubans except bio load.

[Villa_Kwan]

Haha I have a comm of all the different species of gars now.. Lol!! So thinking wanna make 1 comm of 6-8 Cuban, mayb 1 platinum(if i can afford) to be the centre piece and a few birchirs.. Lol!!

The only danger i can think of is when its long mouth try to snatch food with another gar will cause some injury.
One thing i discover is my gars dont eat another smaller gar although it is at bite size,anyone experience it also.I ever comm a 6" gator gar with my pair of19" tropical gar,it will attack even a 7'' pb but just ignored the gator.

it is the nature of the types of gars...if it is the oppositie...19"gator vs 6"tropical, the smaller trop will be gone in no time.
