Which is more harmful to the human life: Alligator Gar or Green Moray Eel?

Hmmm, I am confused, half the people say Moray, other half say Gar. Okay, the situation is you are in an 8000 gallon pond, which would be more dangerous? (one pond is fresh water, the other is salt water), both pond are identical, flat and perfectly square.

Yep, there are 4 situations, one with multiple Green Moray in one pond, one with one Green Moray, one with multiple Alligator Gar and the last one with a single Alligator Gar, can some one put in order all the 4 from the most to least dangerous to humans. Thanks

Well technically your not being fair. As gator gar are the biggest of the gar. And the green is not the biggest moray. The giant moray is the biggest species. This is what they have to say about it....
This species may be hazardous to humans in two ways:
- Being at the top of the food chain it is likely to cause ciguatera poisoning if eaten.[1][2]
- It has been implicated in provoked and unprovoked attacks on scuba divers.[1
Sights have said morays in deep waters have been seen up to 20ft capable of swallowing multiple divers at once.
Also most of the morays have not yet even been discovered.
I would feel much safer in the gar pond than in the eel pond, but I don't understand your "4 situation" scenario.iHammer;3861313; said:
i don't know the most about gars
but
most dangerous to least
many eels(may attack unprovoked)
many gar(on the chance you may piss one off by stepping on it)
one eel(if your unlucky you will walk into it)
one gar(it shouldn't attack hopefully)

I said at the beggining why I picked these 2 species, because the Gator Gar is the largest Gar that is commonly kept as a pet while the Green Moray is the largest Moray that is commonly kept as a pet. By common I don't mean they are in every single aquarium out there, by that I mean that there are actually people out there that keep it rather than just one or two people in each country.

Hm well then you have to factor that most people dont have a gar over 2 feet long. Lol just messing around i understand.
