1st. thank you Lepisosteus for the great hands on info.
This was sold as a alligator gar.
After a few weeks of looking at it and pix i'm pretty sure it's a florida spotted.
Why would it be sold/advertised as a gator gar ????? I was pretty sure 97% that it was NOT a allygar.
Even when I was getting it bagged up to take home I said " you sure it's not a spotted florida? he insisted it wasn't.
He's a great guy with a great shop. He really knows his saltwater stuff. I'm thinking that's where it ends. Ss he is nothing but a aquarium shop ( no dogs, cats, or reptiles) and 80% is saltwater.
Anyways enjoy above pix. of the fake alligator gar.
The wife named him GARfield.
