All that I know about these fish is they get huge !!! And they |
|
eat live fish most of the time. What size tank do you plan on |
|
putting him in ? Decor I wouldn't suggest it maybe rock or |
|
something like that. I don't think these fish are very social |
|
lol ...You might want to put some feeder gold fish in with it so |
|
it will feed when it needs to. Depending on the size of the gar |
|
just use small to medium feeder fish. Good luck with that and |
|
let me know how this goes. |

I am planning to keep them by feeding pellets if possible and |
|
keeping in 4ft. tank for now until he gets huge and I will |
|
upgrade my tank |

I'd ask the people your getting your garr from what they've been |
|
feeding it. |
|
You may have a big problem on your hands if the fish isn't |
|
accustom to feeding on pellets. |

There are a few Youtube videos of these fish feeding in tanks. |
|
They are feeding large gar fish so they are feeding the fish |
|
large goldfish. |
