Atractosteus tropicus- tropical gar 4' maximum wild size,in captivity figure around 3'-Anne
That is Awesome. Alligator gars make me happy.

Yeah from shark aquarium going to take the smallest one as a friend for my everglades, characin, and aros!? This isn't a bad idea is it!? I know fish will get big but within 6 mos tops(more likr christmas time) i'll have a monster tank for them all. Now he'll be in a 75 which is 3X what he is in now!!
Just watch your pike characin as the gar grows.
