ALBINO/HYPOMELANISTIC GAR

[danseswfish]

how do I get what should be and emrgency notification out to the community at large? Ihave seen a white gar. IS THAT SOMETHING OR NOT. I am being doubted on a NANFA by someone named brooklamprey but I now have pictures though thier not great. I will get better or catch the fish before then Im VERY interrested in any information that might help to catch it..............................Im done with opinions of whether it is or not such as those by brookhagfish.

Thanx

A while ago someone posted a pic of a white gar. It wasn't specified as albino or xanthic or otherwise. It was for sale on an asian (I think Japanese?) website and it was pure white, no mistaking it for just a very light colored specimen. I'll try and dig up the link for you.

EDIT: It's not the link i was looking for but I found this http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=342518&postcount=13

Will you please stop Lieing about what Richard has told you on here.. Both here and in Solomon's Lepisosteid.net post you have misrepresented the truth.

He told you that this fish is very likely a Hypo Atractosteus and not what you presume to be a Hypo or albino Oculatus. He has not said anywhere that you did not see a "white" gar, he has only expressed a skeptical approach to what is at this time not a documented variety within the Slendernosed gar species. Further information and evidence is needed for your claim that it truly is one of the Slendernosed fish and not a Broadnosed.

He is and has directly asked you to prove the fish to get a proper ID and you have essentially thrown a tantrum.
