Gar Identification - Post your Gar to be ID'd HERE!!

it's a tougher than usual call, but i would say Florida gars...the pelvic fins (and caudal peduncle) aren't the typical length of SNG's and the body is much stouter even with the somewhat odd pattern...pattern seems close to that of older captive FLGs though.--

when I read your note about short nose gar again I already think these fish are a lot stouter than normal short nose that I see, but the broad snout make me think of fat short nose.

I have a 4yo florida that looks nearly identical. The short fat snout IMO is that of a large older florida.

Those two i've had, and I "believe" they are Floridas... Now I just got this one today and he looks a liiiittle different, so i'm wondering if he could possibly be a spotted gar? He is a little darker.. Also, on a side note, my LFS had 2 other gars and they looked the exact same as the one i'm about to post, but they were muuuuch darker.. like one was damn near all black.. Does that mean anything? Diseases?

Yep these be FLG no SNG in sight here...
 
I picked this guy up over the weekend. 6 1/2 inches. pretty sure it's a Florida. Just wanted to get someone elses thoughts.
