The tropical gar's diet consists mainly of cichlids and other fish. {{Multiple image| direction=vertical|image1=Atractosteus tropicus SI2.jpg|image2=Atractosteus tropicus X-ray.jpg|width=350|align=left|footer=Conventional and X-ray images}}{{clear}}References1. ^{{Cite website|last=Froese|first=R.|last2=Pauly|first2=D.|year=2017|title=Lepisosteidae |url=http://www.fishbase.se/Summary/FamilySummary.php?ID=34|website=FishBase version (02/2017)|accessdate=18 May 2017}} 2. ^{{Cite website|url=http://deeplyfish.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Family-Lepisosteidae-PDF.pdf|title=Lepisosteidae |website=Deeplyfish- fishes of the world|accessdate=18 May 2017}} 3. ^1 {{FishBase | genus=Atractosteus | species=tropicus | month=September | year=2018 }} 4. ^{{cite web | title=Atractosteus tropicus | url=https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/atractosteus-tropicus/ | publisher=SeriouslyFish | accessdate=28 September 2018 }} External links
