First one looks like an alligator gar and the second one looks like a Florida gar?

If it’s an alligator gar, I do hope that you have the space for it. Read you’re keeping it in a 100cm tank
Yeah, rest assured ? I also have 5M*4M pond at my backyard, if he's big enough and the tank doesnt fit then I'll move him there, he will be befriend with some of my basa and pacu fishfishes and (currently basa fish size around 80-100cm, and the pacu around 50cm)
If I may ask here, what is the growth rate for gars? Both of mine currently around 4"-5" (10-12cm)
Florida gars, maybe 1-1.5” a month. Reaches 13-16” within first year.
Alligator gars is a whole different story, some say an inch a week but I’ve never kept it before. But they reach about 24-30” within first year
Yes definitely longnose from tail and snout shape
I was wondering if it could be a hybrid but the snout is very long and thin
