Rescue this guy from an LFS!

Found this guy at a local LFS here in Cleveland called King Neptunes Pets Hes about 30" long and stuck in a 75 with a marble cat and 4 oscars.

If hes still there by the 24th I'm going to pick him up but being stuck in a tank where its almost impossible for him to turn in he might not make it that long. Hes $69.99 and labeled as a spotted gar.

bump keep this one at the top.

I bet ANYTHING that they will drop the price significantly if you take him. Just ask they don't want to deal with a 30" dead fish. And they know they can't care for him the right way. So ask for a lower price. I bet they drop it.

Nice save!

Hopefully he does ok in the 180 until the 300 arrives. Longnose have a long history of breaking their backs.

That's true.

You should start a thread of him in his new tank under the Gar forum! I'd like to see some new pics of him!
