Nice gar

thriviazy · 11-03-2010, 05:06 AM

just wanna share my spotted gar.. got it from another bro in october last year measuring at about 8-9inches.. now, 4 month past, it has grown to about 1.5ft long and FAT

. currently sharing the tank with few other mates.. main diet is mp.. really love this fellow.. but i guess, i may have to consider selling it off in times to come as it will get bigger and i dun know whether it will have enough space as the width of my tank is 1.5ft. upgrading to a bigger tank is something that i'm not able to do at the moment.. have to see how it goes....

comments are always welcome

i used to feed mine feeders and then subsequently market prawns.

i guess gars readily accept live feeders

IMO gars only eat feeders u need to train it to take other food. mine strave for 1mth den take SW poor thing.

people, STARVING IS A RETARDED METHOD FOR CONVERTING FISH OFF LIVE. there ARE long standing effects starving young fish! not only is starving inefficient, it's cruel and lazy.
