What kind of gar? Owner says long nose gar but it has a silver color

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks... Do you think it will be okay with a 24-in fire eel and a 10-in black wolfish? I think it will be dicey with the wolf fish but if there are any issues I'll take the gar out
With wolves it would be either a hit or miss depending on their personal behaviour. Black wolves are on the more chill side compared to Mala or Aimara so less risk. I keep my black wolf with gars as well with no issue. Keep an eye out.
 
I used to have a mala And it was extremely aggressive even towards my fingers. My black wolf is on the other hand is quite a scary cat. What you said makes sense. I'll see how it goes.


Wolf is the real question fire eel won't mess with it and he shouldn't mess with it, but wolves are a toss up

Are there silver gars? Got it today and it's got a silver color. I thought it was just the guy's picture quality. Or is this potentially sick?

No such thing as a silver gar. Looks like a longnose gar. It’s silvery, whitish, probably because it came from a white tank so it’s whitewashed and it’s stressed out from the move.

I am surprised , pretty soon fire eel will be no more . Death due to injury or stress or a jump outside aquarium.
Longnose will be the next

Reigning champ will be black wolf.

It's a lethal mix unfortunately.

Move the wolf to seperate tank.

Mind you gar will be tempted to bite fire eel anytime it moves.
