That fish would take more than the tip off an index finger - cripes - he'd take the bottom half of your arm!

Jaws - eat your heart out!!

So I assume an alligator gar isn't an ideal community fish for my 10 gal?

Yes it will be fine and you can keep it fed on a diet of flakes and small children





btw folks im joking (apart from the small children bit )

heres what i have read about them:
Scientific name: Atractosteus spatula
Price: £10-£25 for a baby
Size: potentially up to 3m/10' in the wild
Notes:
Gars have unusal scales which preventy the body from flexing much. This means that they are not very bendy and they need an extra wide aquarium to allow them to turn around comfortably. You will need a large indoor pool to keep one properly. Outgrows most aquaria
