  • In this video, I let my three pet alligator gar go in the pond that I built for them. I have had Brazos for over two years and the other two for a couple months. They seemed to like the pond and I hope they will grow to 7 feet long one days.
    Thanks for watching!!

    I’d love to see more shade for the gar and more structure in the pond in general to make it natural like driftwood, sticks, big rocks and stuff like that. Even some piping would he cool shelter and designs. Awesome vid

      Yeah, especially if bass are introduced into the pond, but also for bluegills. Sure, bluegill can survive in open water, but they will be more comfortable and less stressed with cover to hang out in.

My co-workers name is Yessi and her and I worked mornings and would get to feed them.

I'm sure I can speak for the rest when I say we were all super happy with the introduction of Guadalupe and Colorado, especially when the slightly bigger boy didn't try to put em in their place, This is MY space and I ain't sharing, (munch, rip, the cries of the gar)
    Having been raised indoors, the sunlight has got to be a very welcome yet new thing to adjust to, once they do tho, I'm 💯 certain they won't forget that your hands are a very welcome sight and you won't have to keep the net up for long at all unless you've got some new secret in store for us! A brother can dare to dream, right?
