Re: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Gar, how i wonder wha

Don't get gars. Gars are bad. Gars want to eat your fingers. Gars produce lots of waste because they are highly carniverous. Most gars also grow very large and unless you have over 100 gallons you'll never have it for long.  There is no tankmate I know of that won't get eaten by a gar.

Hey there, don't have any info for you. But here's some pictures I taken from a LFS. Hell, I thought I saw an aligator when I first saw it.
I would love to have a gar, but logically it won't work.
Here are the pics, that thing is over 4 feet
