Did they come from Gold aquariums? If so definitely Florida.

Was told they were about 6 months ago at golds as gators. I have so far found that everyone in this city lists floridas as gators quite frustrating and annoying

True, everyone just categorizes gars as Alligator gars. I guess it's the catch all name for all gars. There is a big difference between Florida and gator once they are a little bigger. They are easy to tell apart once you own one of each as you can compare the mouth and color pattern. Mouth(short and wide) is the easiest way to tell them apart but maybe harder when smaller.
