the spots will vary in number and intensity on the individual fish.
yeah I would say florida; I have a gar that looks very similar to yours but the spots are a little more distinct on mine; and it was id'd as a florida. nice gar either way.

fatten that gar a little and it would look even better. I've got 1 that I'm letting go to 1 of our members; would love to keep the guy but getting too large for me to keep in my tank. that thing is pushing 16" or so. great looking specimen.

If this is your first gar believe me they are an awsome fish you gonna love the thing. Oh watch out they like to snap they jaws at you when they hungry. Mine almost got me a few times.

I don't see a problem with the fire eel..although I have never kept fire eels and dont know what their personalities are like. but I have a 7" maybe a lil larger clown loach and a 9" delhezi bichir with the gar right now and the gar never goes after any of it's tank mates...
