Raising The Rarest Fish in North America!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
In this video, I setup my 300 gallon tank before I receive a rare fish in the mail. Platinum alligator gar are extremely rare and expensive. They are one of the most sought after fish by aquarists and I’m excited to raise mine.
Thanks for watching!!

Charlie lived the best life a Crawfish could live. Clean water, a nice roomy home, safe neighborhood, fresh fish every day. He lived a good life.

🪦 RIP Charlie. She had a great life. I'm glad she stuck around long enough to see her Gar friends off. That snow-white gar is absolutely stunning!! Had no idea they come in that colour. I hope this one lives for a long time.

Hey! The plants that had the longer leaves and led down to a small root systems are called Java fern. They will die in the substrate. They are rhizome feeding plants which means they feed in the water column. I suggest putting them on rocks or wood with superglue or fishing line.

The dark green plant with large leaves on the left of the pond is called anubias. They have the same care as java fern. So also remove that one from the sand
hey man you doing good? hope to see an update on the gar and ponds soon. them fish must be massive.
That gar looks magical!! So beautiful!! Thank you for letting us see the other type of gar! Also, rest in peace Charli, you were a delight to watch 😔
Gonna miss Charlie, but looking forward to seeing the new fish grow up
I liked how you explained what setting up a tank is actually like rather than just showing the fish right away.
I'm so glad to see new uploads! This is one of my favorite wetland/riparian channels!
I just discovered this channel and love it. I hope that he posts more videos soon showing the gar and returns to KZread.
I miss the turtles. Sorry about your new pond. Maybe they should've stayed at the old pond. But let's not dwell on that too much. This new gar looks amazing. Can't wait to see more of this in the future.

I'm so sad at the death of Charlie. It is so wonderful though that Charlie had a good life of friends, treats, and clean water for the remainder of their short life. Congrats on the platinum gar! How awesome it is!
Glad to see you making videos again.
Glad to see you back 👍
The water onion is a great addition, about 3 to 4 weeks to see substantial growth
Wow! What an incredible-looking fish. This channel introduced me to alligator gar in the first place, and today I learned they can look like THAT! I'm so excited to see them grow. RIP Charlie, you lived a good life. You never knew how many people loved you :)
Never thought that I would say this but that is a very pretty gar! Congrats on your new fish!
So happy to see this video. I am a happier person when you are posting videos.

I was getting really annoyed at how slow the video was going, but nah that reveal was worth the wait, what a little gem
Beautiful Gar! I used to have a Crawfish named Jack, I absolutely adored him and was able to completely tame him enough that I could hold him and he wouldn't pinch me with his pinchers. He let me hand feed him too, he was the sweetest thing ever
Charlie was an amazing little crawfish 🦞 live it’s life to the fullest. Happy u toke care of ‘em

Damn, an albino alligator gar. Congratulations with it. !
Wow Congrats! That is one of the most beautiful fishes I've seen! Make sure it doesn't jump out!!!
I saw a gar yesterday, my daughter and I did. It was at a nature preserve East of Galveston. Looks like a bayou with a lot of trees underwater. The gar was under some moss and we could only see the tail, but as it swam away we got a good look. Magnificent fish, I recognized it because of this channel. thanks
I was not expecting a gar but wow he looks so cool
Rest in peace Charlie! We love you 🧡
Immediately thought of “Ghost” from GOT… but if you need to stick to your river names, Frio. Sounds like Frozen and our new pet here is ICY ❄️ 😉

The last two plants you added are java fern. They frow from shyzomes which should never be planted in substrate as they will rot and die. How to pt them in an aquarium is my tying them to smal rocks or drift wood or you can use vrazy glue or gorilla glue to stick the rhyzome to the hardscape. The do have rootlets which will eventually attach to the rocks and drigtwoood.
