Golden Gar

[Timpon]

Is the golden gar a separate species, or is it a colour morph of one of the other gars.
If so which gars come in this colour?

Agree Dr Sudz. It's a beauty.

it's just a color morph.

any species of gar can have this genetic mutation, but so far, I've only heard of alligator and florida gar associated with this.

What has been paid for a yellow or red Fla gar ? I need real world facts here. What are any of you willing to pay ? I have a trip planed the end of this month to try my best to put one in the boat. I have seen them in the wild. I have the ability and the proper geer to find, catch, and then transport back to my home base. I plan to do this for me, BUT, for the right bucks you just might talk me out of my prize. The place that I will go to do this on this first trip is one of the wildest spots in the whole country. Once that cast net is in the water it will land on a jungle of cypress snags and stumps. Now just think, your in 8 feet of tea collored water, you might get your butt tangled in a net that is stuck to the bottom, and I`m sure that we have seen no less than 20 or so gators over 8 feet long in the last hour near the boat. The crew on the boat is going to shoot some good video but there is not a chance in Hell of one getting their feet wet to help out if things go wrong. Welcome to my life. I plan to have the best gar colection in the world within the next few years. I still need some baby gator gar for my home tank.---HappyFish
