Thanks for all your opinions, Very helpful.
The Alligator Gar is doing very well eating everything. The Florida Gar has seemed a little bummed and spending allot of time at the bottom of the tank. I am interested in the catfish pellet idea, I will have to look into that.

OK I am a little overwhelmed with the choices for catfish pellets. What kind of Pellets should I get for my gars? Probably floating right? Let me know what kinds or brands worked well for you.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Catfish pellets are too low in protein to be useful. Trout and salmon feeds are better. A favorite of mine is Silver cup 45/16 extruded Floating / slow sink steelhead feed.

You see this is quite simple. MOST gator gars will eat their tankmates if they can fit its mouth. But you see if it can'T fit it's mouth it will simply kill it... in the end. I dont give a da*n about that maybe one of youre friends or maybe youre unkle owns a 3' Gator and it lives with Koi, Clarias, Channa's or just ANY other fish. So far so good. ALL tank or pond mates WILL get killed when the gar grows bigger and OLDER. Though the gar is in full size and has not killed anything, he wil get more aggressive and kill his TM's...
This is what happends with 85-100% of all gators. They maybe arent aggressive in Childhood. But as the beast grows older and bigger... you can just find out...

I have 17" gator gars with 16" floridas. They don't hurt each other but the gators are like 10 times more aggressive. Constantly stealing food and when I feed feeders, two gator gars will attack the same fish and rip it in half.
Also a gator gar attacked my 25" clown knife who's peaceful so I'm donating a gator gar to a friend to ease out the aggression.
