Can anyone id my gar? i'm one of the few ppl that likes and tries to keep gars in my country so for me till now its been mostly guess work and tones of research. and asking in pet stores here is like asking a blind man what i'm wearing today

i have living with the gar
1 clown knifefish
2 clownloach
2 silver sharks
3 silver dollers
3 anglefish
1 ropefish
and a few catfish

my tank is 180cm long x 45cm wide and 67cm high

I really like the color scheme on that Florida. Dark and gray. Hopefully it stays like that.

Is the snout damaged/upturned or was that just the angle in the picture?

not sure, for some resone it likes to swim in that way when its stalking, the rest of the time it swims straight. since i've had it, it's never suffered any injuries
