run search and use punctuation as that will help with answering most of the questions in your post if you do that you should be set for the most part and get back to us if you have other specifics that were not answered in your search kthanksbye--

i've said all of the following before (no true malicious intent now or previously) -

1 - it's an online forum, so everyone gets a break on spelling of course
2 - it's an online forum, so everyone gets a break on punctuation...at least within reason...having one long sent-a-graph makes it difficult to read and somewhat annoying. just take the time to use a period once in a while.

3 - and finally, these questions can easily be answered by doing a search...some answers are in the pinned topics (which ironically are hardly ever read), and others can be found doing a basic search..."catfish gars compatible" "gar broken back"

to get you started, look up opisthocoelous vertebrae in a google search and see what you find--

PS - as for "being professional"...it's an online forum, people don't necessarily act like they would at the office ;)

no problem on misunderstandings, that's another common occurrence on internet forums as it's not real conversation, so things are easily misconstrued.
a search can be done either through google (more broad, but may be more comprehensive/useful too) OR you can use the search field on the ~upper left margin of the forum page (it is kind of inconspicuous...perhaps that can be changed with the admins).
also check out aquaticpredators.com and the gar forum there as there is much deeper information but (unfortunately) not as much traffic.

good luck; and as stated before, if you still have specific questions let us know--
