MONSTER FISHES
For SALE/TRADE:
16 " ALLIGATOR GAR
The alligator gar,
Atractosteus spatula, is a primitive ray-finned fish. Its also referred to as the gator gar. Unlike other gars, the mature alligator gar possesses a dual row of large teeth in the upper jaw. These remarkably alligator-like teeth, along with its snout, give it its name. The dorsal surface of the alligator gar is a brown or olive-color, while the ventral surface tends to be a lighter color. Their scales are diamond-shaped and interlocking (ganoid) and are sometimes used by Native Americans for jewelry.
Also unlike other gars, the alligator gar is capable of breathing air and can survive up to two hours above water.
The alligator gar is the largest species of gar and is the largest exclusively freshwater fish in North America. It can be as long as eight to twelve feet and often weighs at least 100 pounds at maturity. The current world record alligator gar weighed 279 pounds and was caught in the Rio Grande River in 1951. Even larger alligator gars — over 300 pounds — have been caught by trotliners. (

16" FLORIDA GAR
The Florida gar
(Lepisosteus platyrhincus) is a tropical fish species that can be found in the Ochlockonee River and waters east and in peninsular Florida. Florida gars grow fast and can reach a length of about 30 inches (75 cm). The young feed on zooplankton and insect larvae, as well as small fish. Adults mainly eat fish, shrimp and crayfish. Although edible, they are not popular as food. The roe is highly toxic to many animals, including humans and birds.
They have irregular round, black spots on the top of their head and over the entire body including the fins. The distance of their eyes is less than two-thirds the length of the snout. Also they have a shorter, broad snout with a single row of irregularly spaced sharp teeth on the upper and lower jaws. No bony scales on the throat. Their color is olive-brown on the back and upper sides, with a white to yellow stomach. The young may have dark stripes on the back and sides. (

10" SPOTTED GAR
The spotted gar (
Lepisosteus oculatus) is a primitive freshwater fish of the family Lepisosteidae, native to North America from the Lake Erie and southern Lake Michigan drainages south through the Mississippi River basin to Gulf Slope drainages, from lower Apalachicola River in Florida to Nueces River in Texas, USA. It has a profusion of dark spots on the body, head and fins. It occurs in quiet, clear pools and backwaters of lowland creeks, small to large rivers, oxbow lakes, swamps and sloughs. It occasionally enters brackish waters. The fish is a voracious predator feeding on various kinds of fishes and crustaceans. They are notable for being one of the few extant fish species with ganoid scales.
They are very persistent fish along with other fish in the family Lepisosteidae. They have been known to hybridize with Florida gars, which is why they look similar to Florida gars. (

7"RED-TAIL CATFISH
The redtail catfish,
Phractocephalus hemioliopterus, is a pimelodid (long-whiskered) catfish named for its red or orange caudal fin. In Venezuela it is known as cajaro and in Brazil it is known as pirarara. It is the only extant species of the genus Phractocephalus. This fish originates from South America. Despite reaching a large size, this fish is a common aquarium fish.
Although the redtail catfish is the only living representative of this genus, there are other members that date back to the upper Miocene. P. nassi was described in 2003, and is from Urumaco, Venezuela. Another undescribed member is known to exist from Acre, Brazil. This genus has a minimum age of about 13.5 million years. (

8 " SOUTH AFRICAN PIKE
Common Name: African Pike, Kafue Pike
Scientific Name:
Hepsetus odoe
Size: I've read that they usually just get up to 12", but larger specimens are possible.
Minimum Tank Size: A standard 75 (48"x18") gallon will work fine, but some say they can be kept comfortably in a standard 55 (48"x12".)
pH: 7.0-7.5. They can adapt to most pH levels as long as consistency is maintained.
Temperature: 78-81 degrees Farenheit.
Diet: Feed live foods at first, but when it's settled in you can start trying to feed them frozen foods. Mine took frozen foods the first time I offered them. Frozen krill, silversides, and worms are great foods for them. Larger specimens can be offered pinkie mice every few months. (
