CursiveDuck Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Haha I know that gar! He's such a nice guy (I know the owner of AD pretty well :P), he's looking really good in your tank! I'm glad to see he's got a nice new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knifefishfan Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 hehe he is house temporarily in my 55 until my 112 is cycled...last 2 days no ammonia and nitrate/nitrites. he will be with a clown knife and an arowana im thinking of getting. the gar and clown knife are buddies and i see them swimming side by side at times...weird hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CursiveDuck Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 He's gotten pretty thick since the last time I saw him lol. I'm not sure the other one that came in at the same time as your guy, made it . But when he gets bigger you should totally put some more pics up!

knifefishfan Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) This was taken last week. he has fatten up alot since i got him. the pic is a little brown as the new driftwood in there is leaching tannins hehe My link Edited October 14, 2010 by knifefishfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFISHGUY Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Nice gar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knifefishfan Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 is it normal that within a month he has grown to almost 11-12 inches and gotten 2 times fatter? or am i overfeeding him? also when FL gars get bigger, do they become more lethargic/lazier?
