@@diandirk3423 It looks pretty serpentine. Its long, thin body, huge teeth, slender snout, and scales make it look more reptile-like compared to other fish
I would agree that the fish tank is not optimal for a fish that can grow as large as an alligator gar but there is no denying this video is awesome on many other levels. The fish obviously enjoys the affections of its keeper & that was really something to behold!
This video is absolutely incredible. It's amazing how he approaches this animal with zero fear and is accepted. Yes i know its is tame but also fantastic. Literally like a puppy dog.
I know that alligator gar are known to be aggressive but this one reminds me of a gar I saw at a lake with a her young swing along side her like dolphins so I'm glad I got to see that kind of familiar behavior in this video.
Really? Fooled me as you know what's funny if you actually pay attention instead of getting all hostile and aggressive right away you could actually tell that the fish actually came towards its owner's hand I know what you mean but that fish didn't even try to get away and if you don't anything anything at all about animals if they don't want to be around they will run even if there's nowhere to run they will run that fish didn't even try to get away he came right towards the hand went right into it didn't flop and get aggressive he wasn't trying to run or escape he was completely fine with what was happening
+Phil Thalhammer But this tank is still much too small, it would probably not be possible to touch the fish like this if it would live in a appropriate sized tank...
That tank is waaaay too small, I'm tired of seeing videos posted by what seems to be vietnemese people who don't know how to properly take care of their pets. That thing is just outright depressed. These animals live in HUUGE lakes and rivers and other bodies of water and require exercise. This one can't even TURN.
I guess this gar is like, 'Well, I have grown as big as I ever will, my owner takes notice that my tank is small and thus he provides me with food (goldfish) 24/7. What's the point in trying to resist him petting me? Might as well enjoy the attention he gives me.'
I never knew you could pet an alligator gar until now. I've seen several massive alligator gars before since I live right by the Mississippi River. Largest one I've seen had to be at least 8-9 feet long. When the levee floods, they come in to swim in the shallow, and you can see them swim in the clear water. Imagine seeing dozens of giant alligator gars and sometime alligators laying on the levee bank at the same time. Living my the widest part of the MS River, you see a lot of cool wildlife stuff. I've seen at a long line of wild hogs gather can a levee bank to drink water early in the morning before. The line had to be at least over a mile long. I couldn't see where the line of hogs gathering to drink water ended, so it had it be over 2+ miles. They are an nuisance to our farm land though
This has to be one of the coolest if not the coolest thing I've seen in many years. How on earth you managed to train your fish that like? VERY IMPRESSIVE DUDE!!
I absolutely love the Alligator Gar fish it is one of my favorite large freshwater fish. I appreciate that you got a new tank and i admire your bond to this fish. Did you buy it or is it wild caught. Was it young when you got it?
lol, i had a gar for 8 years before giving him to a fish store. he was a killer, extreemly powerful and may i add, very smart. he could tell by my body movements when he was going to eat. no joke, if i touched the water, he would slowly come up and attempt an ambush that often got the floor around the tank wet. i thought for sure your fish would leave your hand a bloody mess. im glad to hear he is still happy and in a new tank. i do believe the fish trusts you but im not sure he was in top health, in either case, learn as much as you can about em and i wish em the best.
How did u get him so friendly? I have one the same size and was wondering????? I think it so cool when you have that kind of trust and would like mine to feel as safe as yours appears. Plz respond thanx.
TheMerkin69.When he was 30cm.he always follow my hand when I cleaned the tank.so I many many times gently and slowly put my hand into the tank,after many times I put my hand on his body.I sit beside the tank and watch him many times also.So now he know me,play with me and don't like my wife,my children or any body else
Thank you so much for your reply. Mine as well follows me everywhere and he doesn't mind my hands cleaning his tank. I enjoy him a lot and now you have given me a new goal to achieve with my buddy. Again thank you and would love to see more videos of your interactions with your gar.
Awww. He likes the petting. I love how he keeps going back to your hand. And I think it's pretty cool he's not devouring the other fish and being super aggressive. He's pretty fucking chill. :)
Oh my god...oh my god...OH MY GOD....TOO...SMALL...TANK...OH MY FUCKING JESUS. That fish is WAY TOO BIG FOR THAT TANK Hell I wouldn't put my goldfish in that dirty tank! Sheesh!
rsuriyop they actually get way bigger than 10 feet long down here in southern Louisiana near the Mississippi River mouth they can exceed 15 feet and over 600 lbs.

There always has to be the "tanks too small!" people. You know what, if the fish is healthy, happy and not on the verge of dying then the tank it's in is fine. Very cool fish man.
All the people that think this is sick it's not the fish is following his hand around and wanting to be scratched. Maybe all the fish want to be treated like this but they are to scared due to the fact that we kill them everyday?
+Babby Babbyson hey i know you. you're the guy that commented on that vat19 video and we had argument about an iphone 6 being a piece of metal and plastic or something.
+Thien Nguyen no offence, but Alligator Gar is one of the biggest freshwater fish species in the world, they can grow to very large size, you should have a bigger space/aquarium/pond for your fish... it will be better for your fish
NEVER RELEASE ANY CAPTIVE BREED OR DOMESTICATED ANIMAL INTO THE WILD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCEES !! This is both irresponsible and hazardous to both the animal and the ecosystem!
its an alligator gar, many gars have spots when young, its just that rhe alligator gars will lose its spots as it matures. thats why it has small spots instead of big splotches you see on spotted gars
You should show this to Jeremy Wade of the show "River Monsters". He was showing that alligator gar are not vicious biters and you've gone beyond that, showing one to be extremely friendly and tame. Nice video.
thank you for posting this video it totally touched my heart. I have a 6" bumblebee who likes to be petted, held , and hand fed but your video is EXTRAORDINARY!

doesnt look remotely like a reptile

I agree the tank is too small but the way the fish reacts to him and acts like a dog you can't deny, is amazing
Wtf
pvnks hahahhaaa
Yes, tank is very small
The fish is unhealthy
He must've taken good care for it or rescued it somewhere it's really grateful to him
The fish looks happy.

The fish obviously enjoys the affections of its keeper & that was really something to behold!
JPthebeeman right when he touched him first that fish was so happy to have his parent petting them.
JPthebeeman fish do grow to the size of their habitat, just enough so they can still move freely.
GwWaterMelon // Melony the insides still keep growing while the outside doesnt
A thousand gallon tank or bigger, or a swimming pool. This is actually total fish abuse. It can't even fucking turn around!
JPthebeeman yeah I hope he has a plan for when it gets bigger lol...
1:45 That was so cute when he pulled his hand away and the gar said. "No no don't stop"
Thts what told me that the gar was not in any way sick and was capable of recognizing the affection it was receiving which was the cutest thing ever
The moment you let go.. he swim towards to get some more, shows he's really enjoying it.
This was 7 years ago, imagine how big it’s gotten now 😳😳
That fish might be dead now

That is the best most calm alligator gar I have ever witnessed in my whole entire life
Oh my god. It's like you have a pet dinosaur. That's adorable.
As someone who fishes for a hobby, this really made me wonder if fish are smarter than I thought.
Great stuff Thien! Your beast sure knows who the hand that feeds him is. Lovely animal.
I know that alligator gar are known to be aggressive but this one reminds me of a gar I saw at a lake with a her young swing along side her like dolphins so I'm glad I got to see that kind of familiar behavior in this video.
I honestly had no idea this kind of trust and "love" was possible with a fish, especially a predatory fish. INCREDIBLE
+Phil Thalhammer There is no trust or love, the fish can´t get away, cause there isn´t even place for him to turn around.

I regardless of the tank size if the fish didnt want to be touched it would have put in the effort, dont be naive
+Phil Thalhammer Of course, but if the fish would have more space it would be harder to get him so tame.
Everyone on TH-cam is an animal activist, and expert.
AToTheM Or they're just logical, you see a fish that big and that fast and you know this tank is too small
you don't need to be an expert to realise that fish legit can not even turn its body in that tiny tank.
AToTheM not at all there are some horrible people on TH-cam
LOL!!

That fish just chills like an old dog.
When he said he wanted a nose job....I don't think this is what he meant
That is so cool. I love it. I couldn't believe how docile and friendly it is... lucky you.
That is so cool. I had no idea that a fish would like to be petted like that, let alone a gar. This video just blows my mind!!!

I never imagined on a million years that id be using the words cute and alligator gar in the same sentence, but thats adorable
Lol! It's like an aquatic dog. A large, toothed, prehistoric, aquatic dog.
"fun with my alligator gar." Am I the only one that knew what I was getting myself into when I clicked this video?
What a nice Gar. Wont get scared or bite. Just having fun :D
A fish that acts like a cat or dog that loves to be petted. Pretty cool.
BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible bond with us viewers
Wow! He actually likes being touched! :D

whaaaaaat?!?!? that's some cool stuff, I've never seen someone PET a fish!
Cool
Never in my life have I seen a fish so reactivate to human touch
That's a nice swimmy doggo you got there

how can you tell because the video doesn't show the whole tank.

Very dangerous fish when full size. You will need a pool to keep a fish like that. I wish you good luck.
