That's good to hear. And yes he does. But he only has 1 big enough for him and he doesn't spend much time it. Sent from my XT907 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

What does this lighter stuff look like to you guys? Is it bad? Sent from my XT907 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

You could look for rescues in your area. Craigsliat is another good option. And you could also try reptile stores. Sometimes they will take them in. What kind is it? Sent from my XT907 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Oh he looks great! Don't get me wrong. He is quite the amazing fish :) I was just mentioning it to make sure you have thought about what you are going to do when he does get huge. But yeah it is quite unique to see one in captivity I feel. I look forward to seeing updates on him :) Sent from my...

Yeah. I was doing some research and it is pretty unanimous that alligator gar shouldn't even be kept in a home aquarium because they can get over 6'. So unless you have at least a 1000 gallon tank I would recommend finding it a new home with a tank big enough for it such as an aquarium. Sent...

They should be. I have seen turtles under frozen ponds. But I would break the ice as soon as possible and maybe invest in a heater. How thick is the ice when it freezes? Sent from my XT907 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Most definitely! Red eared sliders are super hardy! And you have plenty of room for a few :) and to answer all your questions 1) you can feed them turtle pellets that you can get from most pet stores as well as some feeder fish every now and then. 2) yes 600 gallons is big enough. 3) no...
