Who killed the longest alligator in the world?
I believe that 1 of them is the ancient Alligator Gar. They can reach up to 40 feet long in height! they are very deadly! when the people first saw the Alligator Gar they wanted them elimanated. They built over 200 boats to kill these beautiful creatures of fresh water lakes and rivers! When people fish for these alligator's they use needles to stab them. Then they reel them in. They always have a knife just in case things get out of hand! If you see one do not get too close! I am 12 and <3 animals don't underestimate me! EB out PeAcE$
How do you breed an alligator gar fish?
U need a really big tank and A LOT of live food. They can be pellet raised but it is better to feed them what they are meant to eat and that is smaller fish then itself. They are also aggressive fish. You need to take into consideration that these fish grow up to 7 feet long maximum which means your pretty much going to need a tank the size of a small backyard eventually if your going to keep it for its whole lifespan. Otherwise it needs to go back to its natural habitat. No not your local lake or the closest one nearby. You actually need to go to a place that has alligator gars inhabiting the body of water if you plan on releasing it. Also wear gloves if you plan on handling the gar as the roe of the gar can be poisonous and they have extremely sharp scales. I would not recommend raising an alligator gar but that is totally your decision. I would consider getting a Florida or spotted gar instead because they look more like a aquarium fish as they have very nice looking spots along their body. Alligator gars require a lot of care and attention so be wise when make a decision if you plan on getting one.
