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

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Picked up this guy over the weekend. He was advertised as a "Florida alligator gar" and they said they thought he might be a hybrid of some sort. I'm honestly just hoping its a FLG. Input is greatly appreciated.

it is a Florida gar. For a lot of people, every gar is alligator gar so a Florida gator gar is just a Florida gar rather than any hybrid or a gator gar.
 
that's a relief. Last thing I need is another fish that's going to outgrow every tank I have. Now on to the challenge of getting him off live food.

Thank you gentlemen :cheers:
 
Hello everyone! Relatively new to the forums, signed up because I have a little (and hopefully going to stay that way) monster in my tank! I bought him at a hobby shop, and they weren't specific on what kind of gar he is. I want to say he's a Florida gar, but I'm not too sure. Keeping him in a 65 gallon tank with my angel fish, and they get along swimmingly (they really do, honestly didn't mean to slip in the pun)
