Hello, I have a 4 inch alligator gar that I have had for 5 days now, I am aware of their size and requirements and what it entails to keep this monster. My question is their eating habits, coloration, and characteristics. I keep about 5 small guppy in the tank normally and
I really don't see him eat a whole lot, and the only time he is active is when the lights are very dim, or off my lighting is a led strip it is petty bright is that a problem?
When the lights are on he doesn't move a lot and has light silver and black coloration, right when I turn the lights on after it has been dark, he doesn't have any black markings, or at least it's not that black defiantly a change, normal?
He seems to slide his nose across the glass instead of just strolling through the aquarium, I keep a good amount of fish and usually when that happens it means something does anyone know what?
He's not skin and bones but it just reassures me when I know he eats and with everyone saying how much they eat this one isn't adding up to all the hype, I just want to make sure that i am doing everything right for this fish , I appreciate all the responses and taking the time to read this post everyone , here's a picture of him when I saw him eat once
