Oh yea, he's pretty cool, but he's just going to get way too big for me to keep long term. I found a guy with a tiger shovelnose that wants to trade and has a pond he can go in, much better home for him in the long run.

Not particularly, but he does come up to greet me if I stand near the tank. Always looks like he's smiling too :D

Yep, they get very socialized from some of the videos I've seen of bigger ones.

I tell you, i'm having the worst time trying to track down a gar that is close to me. The closest one I've found that won't get eaten in my tank is in the next state up on the map :P
