Nice enclosure, unfortunately your gator will out grow this in a matter of months. Start planning on a new enclosure, stay away from fish tanks, use preformed ponds, swimming pools or stock tanks. Also if you live in a state where its warm/hot enough, think of a outside summer enclosure. The natural sunlight is the best thing for a growing gator.

As far as the diet you mentioned use rosy reds instead of goldfish. I know the goldfish are bigger, but the have very little value for your gators diet, compared to the rosys.

Heres a pic of what you will have in 7 years
