Well about 2 weeks ago i sall a Alligator gar 12" at a lfs its lower jaw was broke can it suvive?
That depends on if it can still use it to eat or not. If it cannot move it at all, then I'd say he's in trouble, but it could heal enough for him to use it to eat. Have you gone back since then??

^^^i agree...i think it really depends on how the jaw heals and how funtional it remains. i also think pics would need to be provided for anyone to diagnose the severity of the injury.

Can you take a pic? How thin is it?

If not, ask the shop owner to feed the gar and see if it eats!
