Fathers day 2007 I got a longnose gar for my aquarium and have spent hours watching it's habits of feeding and swimming. I have learned so much by it and has helped me catch gar in the rivers. I made a video on rope lures that many of you may have seen and that has gotten people asking e about my gar so here is a short clip to see him in his small tank.
It worked for me. Nice video. How many goldfish does he eat a week? I had northerns when I was younger and would keep a seperate tank full of goldfish. DT

Aaron, Way cool! thanks for sharing How often do you change the water and when are you going to start a thread on your new tank project, now that sounds interesting.
56twister --- When I got him I fed him mosquito lava and it was hard for him to take it in. He was the thickness of a pencil lead 3 inches long about in fact hard to see even. By winter time he was 10.5 inches until April when he started growing again. He only ate a minnow a week or 2 weeks during the winter. Now he averages over 4 minnows a day!
St.Croixer----- I have one tank all don with just needing to be the final seal coated. But I will shoot some photos or video of the tank as I build the 350 gallon.

Anyone else having the same problem?
That is a lot of food. Do you have to feed it something else the rest of the week? And you have had it almost 14 months, how much has it grown?
