Hey, not really sure. The only thing the lfs guy told me was that he's wild caught and has never had eyes.
Snookn21 here on mfk started this thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?319175-Black-florida-gar a while ago about how he's found groups of black florida gars that are all blind. What happens is that the myan cichlids aka false red terrors, get so thick sometimes of the year that they eat the gar's eyeballs.
I'm not really sure, can't find anything else really on these guys. What do you guys think? Anyone with more knowledge care to share your opinion?
Haha good stuff man I go in there all the time, I bought one of the florida's that was in with him. I also went in last week and bought a Goliath African Tigerfish from him, you should go check out his new stock if you havent lately
