What's the lifespan on a Florida, I want to know how long I will be enjoying my two Florida gar's.:)

Also, how old would you think a 12-14 in. Florida is. I keep records of how old(guesstimates) my fish are and wanted to get a rough guess of how old they are now.

I wander the same question, I've always wandered how long they live. But I can't ever get a answer.

12-14" I'm guessing it's a YOY gar or 2yrs... could be older if its stunted... but I would guess no older then 2yrs.

I plan on leaving my daughter our gar... lol that is if she takes after her mom's affection for fish.
