How big do troppical gars grow?

What is the diffence? I belive to have read somewhere that 2 different types exist. The real gar and a "unreal" gar

Could we clearify the names of the real and unreal

This thread hasn't been updated for about 6 months. I suggest reading the stickies in the gar section for sizes and species information.

But a quick summary: there are seven species as gar as well as several hybrids between the seven species.

Florida Gar - Lepisosteus platyrhincus
Spotted Gar - Lepisosteus oculatus
Shortnose Gar - Lepisosteus platostomus
Longnose Gar - Lepisosteus osseus

Alligator Gar - Atractosteus spatula
Tropical Gar - Atractosteus tropicus
Cuban Gar - Atractosteus tristoechus

--

If a fish is not one of the above or a cross-breed of two of the above, it is not a gar.

^ with regard to the stickies, read the one titled "the official garticles"
