Florida gar, for the snakehead id you would have better luck posting in the snakehead subforum under other monster fish. Rainbow snakehead is the common name for channa bleheri which gets 6". Looks bigger than that from the pictures.

As far as compatibility it is not recommended to combine gars with most of your existing stock list. As well most channa keepers recommend species only tanks for channa.

Florida gar, not sure about the snake head tho. The sting ray might work out, but it is not a good idea to keep that gar with any of your other fish.
There are no Lepisosteus (true gar) species in California. A Cali gar is simply a previously illegally kept gar in Cali.
did you just check the IP address or you just drunk this time?
