Gar Color

[E_americanus]

Some individuals do and some don't I got 3 flo gars and 2 of them maintain the spots and the other 1 spots keeps on getting smaller. They are now all at 19-21".

Here are some old pics of my 2 different flo gars

The first gar I posted on the 4th post now look like this. It's the same gar on the 4th post. Now the spots are even smaller. I'll take some pics very soon.

"some do and some don't" - i definitely agree. the initial statement you made was stated as a general trend, which is not necessarily true...that's what i was responding to.

thanks for posting the pics, good-looking specimens and definitely good examples of pattern change over development. if there is any rule, it's that Florida and spotted gar patterns are highly variable among individuals!--

If you feed them good and take care of them you do not need to do many tricks to their general physiology to make them look good...
