please do not list E. okatie or E. boehlkei as potential aquarium fish. As far as I know these populations are not protected, but they are also not common aquarium fish... and likely should not be pursued as such.
Okay, removed. I had only included them because they're small enough to put in a tank. I didn't think about them being threatened.
Third, my E. okefenokee would be surprised to find out that they were not supposed to be eating flakes all this time.
Lucky! My gilberti refused to eat flake
I'll update the entry on okefenokee. How did you wean yours onto flake food?
And that is not even mentioning the other disinformation on this page alone, like listing gar as getting to be up to 118 inches and then saying they are an easy/intermediate fish to care for... really? I could go on, but I won't waste anyone's time... wikipedia is a toy, not a tool and should be treated as such.
I agree, there are a lot of problems with that page. That's why I was trying to fix it. I was hoping other people could work to fix it too, to stop the inaccuracy. I know nothing about gar, so if that piece were to be corrected it would have to be done by someone who has experience with them.
