Half mouth gar

[foti]

i was in a fish shop about 2 months ago to get some frozen food and as always i tell myself no more fish! lol and once again i bought some as i was looking around i seen a tank with these half mouth gar i never seen anything like these before and i loved them straight away so i took 2 1 male 1female didnt even know what they were called till i ask on the forum

well i did a search and found that they should be heald in groups of 2 males to a female tho i knew by the time i went back to the store they would of been sold out since it was a few days after, so i didnt care if they breed or not i just liked them

3 days ago i was having a good look at them and realised that the female was big "big bellied" so i hoped that she was pregnant lol

today i looked at her she was normal so i guessed that i should look lol there in there so small

im so happy that i got a male and female

so now the count
