  • 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.
