Is 825 gallons big enough for a long-nosed gar? Don't worry, I haven't even set anything up yet and don't have the fish.
Big enough for a gar?

I would hope so, unless the dimensions are really, really funky.
You planning on a 825 gallon tank???

825gal my lord..you should post the build thread at monsterfishkeepers.com they eat this kind of stuff up!
No, pond. So it's going to have to be a subspecies native to here. All I could find so far is Florida Spotted Longnoses.
Well that all depends. Are you getting a baby or an adult? It's actually best to keep young ones in smaller, heavily planted tanks. In big setups they can get spooked and break their backs/noses.
ang, A tank that size almost seems big enough for a human.....
I am wondering that too...
Florida gar (Lepisosteus platyrhincus)
Spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus)
Longnose gar (Lepisosteus osseus)
all separate species...
Oh... I got it mixed up somehow... Anyways, this is where I found one online: http://www.petsolutions.com/Florida-Long-Nose-Gar+I66850+C79.aspx
I've never caught one before but will definably keep my eye out this summer and try different fishing places. I also remember there was another place where you could buy North American fish but I can't recall the website...
I knew about them being able to break their backs, but do you think if this pond was heavily planted around the edges, it would be safe? I don't have a large enough aquarium for it to grow up in, if I got a baby.
