Gator gar

Were sold to me as Florida gar. I’ve raised a few but always got them around the 12” mark. After watching them grow a few weeks I’m starting to think they’re long nose gar? I suppose time will tell for certain, but I’m curious what others think. First photo is most recent, 2nd about a week ago and 3rd about two weeks ago give or take.

Looks like a long nose but the other doesn’t. Maybe it’s the pic.

I checked that thread but there really wasn’t any photos of juvenile longnose to reference.

I think it’s the photos, I wasn’t able to get a good profile shot of the smaller one.
