Here's one of the smaller ones in Springfield, about 75" when this pic was taken. Obviously eating well..



This one was 99.25 inches long, but didn't survive transport to the aquarium:

Both my Atractosteus spatula and my Lepisosteus osseus appear to be about 38" long

24"+ trop 20"+ trop... are my 2 biggest atm... but the longnose are catching up and only about 1.5yrs old iir and in the 16"+ ranges (3 of them) unfortunately lost our 18"+ Cuban not long ago. kiddo number 2 otw here in the next 4-6 weeks.. so the pool is pretty bare atm after the issues we had.. so won't be adding to the group until spring at the earliest (and that's if I don't decide to just get YOY to grow out but take in some sub-adults ect) ... so interested in seeing what growth we'll get outta the 5 gar and 2 catfish over winter.

I say urs are just as impressive, in reards to variety and I think gar looks better from the top, and so far the biggest gars are the ones from that guy with the pond
