been seeing a lot of ID threads lately, thought it might be a good idea to "revive" the quiz;)

guess the gar id, and state how you came to that conclusion. it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, what's important is that we all learn from this.

ps: more experienced guys, leave the iding out of your responses for a bit, but do state traits to look out for to successfully ID the fish:)

i with i had more species to make this game more interesting. solomon, plat & conner i need help with pics of more species!!

gar 1

i don't wanna join this quiz. lol, is that your collection sir? i can't help but admire their beauties.
 
Ow, feels like I'm back at school and you're checking if we payed any attention.
So, it'll be guessing, though i was tempted to go through your older posts.
Anyways,
1: small gator gar???
2: Florida gar
3: all of the above plus the yellow/brownish fat dude : cuban gar
4: the cuban and florida with strange lil' spots (i don't dare to say spotted, for that is usually the wrong answer.lol)

Bonus question: broken neck/back, old injury.

Hope a at least have 1 correct.....lol

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

1. Alligator gar- There's something about their eyes... Not to mention the snout.
2. Spotted gar- The snout is too short to be a Florida
3. Vertebrae injury just behind the skull
4. Cuban ad Spotted- No other gar but Cubans have that color
5. Cuban- Color is a dead giveaway
 
ahhhh, i want to answer!!

and again, no one has guessed the answer to the bonus!

**spotteds generally have a longer snout than Florida gars; by the logic you have stated in question #2 it should not be an option if the snout is too short to be a Florida gar.

that's true, it's a good one...i think a good clue is that these are xander's fish and xander's tank :)
