Well I found some true Florida Gars at my LFS (Dragon Aquarium). I decided to trade in Loki because I couldnt get him off live food, And last time I got a Gator gar thinking it was a Florida so I had to sell him.

Chop Sticks, my Florida gar doesnt even eat fish??? :headbang2I got him a few feeders and he just looked at them, one was actually touching his nose and Chop Sticks just swam away... So now I dont need to get feeders at all. Also when I got the Gator as soon as he hit the water if something got to close he would attack, Chop Sticks hasnt even flinched at another fish.

so here is Chop Sticks the florida gar, he is about 7-8"s:

Nice looking gar. Watch out for that Flag tail...they are known to feed on other fish's slime coat (Gars are very prone to falling victim to this).
