I have bought a 16-18" gar, i was sold it as a florida gar but a few people have told me it looks like an alligator gar.
Can any of the gar experts on here help me out, i have attached a couple of pics. I hope they help.

cool piece of driftwood too

Cheers, i like it too i had to chop some branches off but the bark looks good and it suits my fish, makes it look really nice and natural, if i didnt have a dat pulcher id put leaves in too but i think leaves would softem the water and lower the ph too much for the pulcher (soon to be 2 pulchers :D:D)
