Tropical Gar : The Singapore Order

[SmallMonster]

^^ nice!! haha the big one is massive!

4 of my gars are @ 7.5-8", the runt is 5.5":S

going to try getting them off feeders now.

they just wont eat the stupid floating pellets -.- what are u doing to make them eat it?

Nice looking smallmonster.

Schmike, glad to see it eating. It's really tiny from what I can see.

Wish I'd ordered sooner, but I am content with the single Trop I have.

talking about orders, i have this suspicion that those people that sells trop gars for $500 is just a ruse.

however, this is just a suspicion... idk..

^ nope, i know the seller and it's the real deal

i just did a minor $15 "renovation" to my tank. wasnt prepared to decorate it. but since i was at the LFS, and saw something to my liking, i bought it. (the gravel)

Saw someone selling his 6" TPG on AF for $500. Businessman that one..

Well, by law there is nothing we can do. He did pay for the gar, so it's his business if he decides to sell it at a much higher price.

But ethically speaking, its just wrong. Those gars are limited and IMO should only be brought by those who really love them, and not just for profit. So many of us wanted a trop and couldn't get one because of reasons like budget constraint.

Him (the seller) reserving it only to sell it away is just like robbing somebody else's dream.

Willing seller, willing buyer thats what i believe. Even i wouldnt mind paying more just to get a few more pieces of these cuties.

My TPG isnt growing as fast as yours are though, haha seems like MP and frozen brineshrimp isnt really giving the fish any growth boost.
