Atractosteus Tristoechus aka Cuban Gar

Acquired another pair of cuban gar in anticipation of the upcoming ban from AVA.  Regardless, I have been eyeing this species for a long time and I now have a total of 3 pieces in my collection.

Cubans are heavy eaters and they put on a lot of weight in a short period of time.

Atractosteus Tropicus aka Tropical Gar

Got 2 more pieces of Tropical Gars last week due to the impending ban of Gars by AVA.

One of them is of the darker variant while the other of the whiter variant. Interesting to see how they will grow into.

Atractosteus Tropicus aka Tropical Gar

My Tropical Gar….very rare….truly awesome!

Was about 5″ when I brought her home. Now about 9″ after less than 2 months. Switched from feeder buffet to MP diet after it crossed 8″.

Acquired in beginning April 2011.

Lepisosteus Platyrhincus aka Florida Gar

Got this beautiful piece of Florida Gar from Stones in Dec 2010. It was barely 8″ then and rather skinny looking. It has since put on 5″ in length and looks pretty fat. Eats everything anytime.
