Looks like a FLG, but I can't see the pattern too well.

Just a heads up, you're about to get hit with a ton of flak for keeping a gar with an arowana. Generally not a good idea.

You have a florida gar and a jardini is a terrible idea for a tankmate.

As far as training the gar onto non live foods wait till it is closer to 8-10" before trying to convert it.

Washed out Florida gar patterns don't matter. Jardini aren't typically a good tank mate for any fish, most can be quite ill tempered.

The Jardini will very soon harass your gar to death. Keeping the gar on live is healthier for it at this stage, just make sure to quarantine and gut load the feeders just as Pharmocepia said. When it gets to 7,8,9 inches try throwing in pellets when you throw in feeders fora while and it'll start to take them...especially if you, like me hand feed your gar(s). Overall Your going to have to choose between the jardini and the gar, for example reading member Maddings post in the section of the gar tank mates sticky that covers this particular fish combination says worlds about how rare it is that this would work out, I personally would keep the gar.
