Cuban, He's like compareing a german shepard to a Black Lab ( My Floridas ) I don't have the room for a Gator, and I can't get my hands on a Trop Atm... otherwise those would likely be a close second.

But of course you can't go wrong with ANY gar!

Realized I never gave a good reason as to why I voted for the fish I did (LNG) in absence of an all of the above option.. Which I'd have liked above all.
Picked out LNG for a few reasons.. 1. I have been working with them for what seems like forever now. First fish I ever kept in captivity was an LNG and it was the fish that messed up my brain enough so to actually think spending stupid amounts of time looking at these fish was a good thing. 2. That big long snout filled with teeth just does something (Fits all gar but in LNG it is something different). likely more but that is good enough for now...

I had to vote LNG myself. Logan is just too bad tail. I sure do hope that Grumpy or Carnage (my Amia Calva) don't find out though.
What more explanation for the LNG is needed than this mouth!

Most common gar to keep, and most people will become favorited towards their own pets... it's all good with me.
