Do Water Temperatures Affect alligator gar?

I get a ton of questions about how water temperatures and cold weather during winter effect alligator gar, since i have my own alligator gar in an aquarium i attempt to answer that question to the best of my abilities.
I started out with my aquarium at 84 degrees and filmed my gar getting their daily feeding. I then turned my water heater off and allowed the water temperature to reach 68 degrees. It took 5 times longer for my gar to get hungry at 68 degree waters and they moved and ate much more lethargically.
Im planning on making a video soon showing the methods and tactics i would use to target alligator gar in the rivers and bays throughout Texas during winter so look for it.

Thanks for sharing, it's cool to see these infant gar feeding up close. PEACE ✌️
Thank you. My alligator doesn’t eat for a week or so, when its rainy season. Now I know the reason😄

@@dredre2235 alright I got one and ur best bet is to get one and a small tank and pump for about the first 2 months it will take some time for the hat to eat it eventually he will but make sure it’s fresh minnows not petsmart because they will eventually kill it but as a baby it’s best to keep inside

Depends what kind for a Florida/spotted I would say at least a 125 gallon tank so they have room to swim Florida/spotted gar usually for some reason just stop growing at 16 inches but I would say a gar needs at least 6-8 feet to swim a alligator gar will need a 10,000 gallon pond or aquarium longnose gar get 4-6 feet and will need 5,000 gallon! I don’t know much about Cuban gar but you can do research about what gar you want
