Is 520 gallons enough for one Florida gar? If not how much time can a 45cm individual live in it?
Basically I’ve been wanting to get this 45cm Florida gar from a guy that is selling it for 100€ that can’t keep it any more since he’s got only a 145 gallon tank if not less and the gar has grown too much. I would be keeping it in this 520 pool pond full of plants and done in a very naturalistic way that is inside an outdoor structure, since I’m located in Italy, in the winter it arrives at 15ºC which would be perfect for a gar because in nature they live up to the cold 11ºC in North America. I wanted to know if it is enough gallons for the Florida gar, if it isn’t I would like to know in how much time I should upgrade. Thanks!
(The gar in the picture isn’t the exact individual, it’s just for attention).
