gars in false gharial tank-7/25

To be honest, I think it's quite rare to exhibit crocodilians and gars together.

@captain alligator fyi, museum komodo in Jakarta, Indonesia is one of the facility that kept gars together with false gharials.

@Caribbean Flamingo Personally, I thought it was unusual to see crocodilians kept together gar, a Predatory fish, but I see there are others too.

In Czech zoos, crocodilians are kept with fish often - it seems to work when fish are big enough (caimans with pacu and plecostomus in Brno, dwarf crocodiles with large cichlids and some catfish in Dvůr Králove), small enough (gharials with Danio in Prague) or have a lot of space (slender-snouted crocodiles with African cichlids in Ostrava, Philippine crocodiles with large assembly of Asian fishes in Pilsen). But I think that especially in the last case, some losses are inevitable.

@hawkkeye I think it's not uncommon in European zoos and aquariums, not just in the Czech Republic, to keep crocodilians and fish together.

Unlike carnivores, many other predators do not have a hunting instinct, but only hunt when they are hungry. Therefore, crocodiles (or sharks, for example) are often mixed with potential prey. Since they know they will be fed, this usually works without any problems.
