I use instant ocean sea salt.. about 10 lbs for every 2000 gallons of water bi-monthly. There is also a 24/7 drip system running as well.

Lol woah, if thats the case might not wanna put anything under 20" maybe larger to be safe with them

No kidding... these gars are still growing too.

Nice video capture Vince. He got em 1st try without hesitation...crazy!... As u said, atleast it didnt go to waste, its always a dumbfounded and amazing feeling when u see a large fish consumed by another u didnt think was capable. What surprises me is how quickly there digested after ... I had some 16"ish bass eaten by 28"-30" cats and crapped out in a day or 2 like it was a snack lol...

Thanks Russ! Cats are crazy

How did those 3 aros end up with their mouths locked open? Are the still able to feed? They look like the paddle fish filtering the water for food.

They were born with that defect... they are now over a year old.

I would not give up an opportunity for free food either

Haha

Shows the incredible power of the gar. Beautiful fish!

I love these gars! Thanks

Bags of K3 media... and the acrylic is between 1.5 to 2 inches

How much do these platinum/white arrowanas and gars go for? 3-4K I take it?

Looks like you installed tile at the bottom of the tank. Any reason you did that instead of just going bare bottom. I prefer bare bottom and am thinking of having my next tank made with a black acrylic bottom. My current glass tank I painted the bottom black.

Bling bling! hahaha
