''Do koi have the same problem as goldfish? '' koi is basicly a fancy carp so yes is the answer

Ok, I thought I read somewhere that it was healthy to feed your gar a little lettuce every now and then. Just wondering if this was true because I could easily wrap up some vitamin B laced lettuce in a piece of shrimp

Now your just being silly... However, I would not be surprised to see a Gator eat lettuce... They are truly that opportunistic..

Look man, it is your fish do what you want with it but if you want actual advice on the care of the fish and ask for it expect someone to point out the poor husbandry practices as they are currently. You can take the info being given to you and use it or you can just toss it aside.. that is your choice. Your ideas however are not in anyway going to sway any Long term experianced keepers of these fish.

Good luck with your fish and I do hope you take some of the info being given to heart and consider it. Do feel free to ask me, if you wish, Other aspects of gar husbandry. I'm always open to that, but I'm no longer going to dwell on this feeding thing of yours. What has been said has been clearly stated.
