New fish!

Rallysman · 04-04-2008, 07:54 PM

Here it is!

Quick and dirty touch up, sorry if you notice

rosita · 04-04-2008, 07:58 PM

Awesome!!!

sarcare · 04-04-2008, 08:04 PM

Awesome!! So, question--is that a REALLY big fish, or a REALLY close up picture?

Rallysman · 04-04-2008, 08:10 PM

Thanks!!

The fish is actually about 13" long. I got lucky with this fish because it already eats pellets. Hooray for no starvation period.

NICE fish Rally ! I've seen those at local aquariums...they get pretty large...lol.........

.....HEY ! Can I drop a line in your tank Rally ??

Beautiful fish and great pictures. It looks like its got a nice set of teeth on it.

Great pics, Rally! That's a nice looking addition to your tank.

I always wanted to keep a big gar. It's fantastic that he eats pellets already. Very nice find, there.

Wow... We have those in our creeks here. Never dreamed of keeping one as a pet. It is not uncommon to see one 5-6' long. How big is your tank?

Rallysman · 05-22-2008, 05:52 AM

Right now it's just in a 265. I'll upgrade later, but it's very uncommon to see a Florida Gar/spotted gar over 30".

canardman · 05-22-2008, 06:47 PM

ok... The bill looked kind of wide, thought it was an alligator gar.

Trixie · 05-22-2008, 09:59 PM

Gorgeous fish. They always remind me of those clips that hold your little paper bib on when you go to the dentist, though...
