I saw 2 babies about 3" each at the lfs and wasn't sure what kind they were and like an idiot I didn't take any pics.

does anyone have pictures of baby gator gars???? I've seen baby spotted and baby marbled and they're long and skinny right?? But these two I saw had bigger heads and more girth to them.

Any pics anyone?? thanks in advance!

gar are illegal in Cali...but they do show up at LFS's once in a while. The so called "marbled gar" isnt a true gar at all, and these gar you saw may not be true gar either. Its hard to say if you don't have any pics. primitivefishes.com has pictures of every species of gar so check them out and see if it looked like any of them.

i've seen baby spotted gars,............ bought one myself but these 2 look different, their body's werent as slim and snouts were broader. the head were bigger for it's body.

unlike my baby spotted, it had a small head, slim beak, long skinny body. it got more girth after it started eating and got larger.

they don't look like false gars dude,.............. even the "marbled gar" that were sold at this one place were true gars. false gars are like the needle fish, rocket and hujetas gars and such but not these guys.

but thanks for the website, i'll check it out.

some people just don't know the difference...just making sure you knew what you were looking for. If the snout is wider and its a true gar, it could be a gator. Hard to say without pics. any chance you could go back and get some pics? BTW...im not a "dude"

I'm sorry, couldn't tell if you were a dudette. Didn't mean to offend you if I did. They should have male and female signs next to the names or something you know? Kind of like mens and womens restroom signs. Usually if a girl on mfk don't have a name like "girlpower951" or "rainbowpony555" or something like that I assume it's a dude.

anyways, I guess I can try and go back,............ I'm kicking myself for not taking pics. it's kind of a far drive. But until then, if anyone has pics,............ please post them.
