What is the difference between the alligator gar and florida gar? My lfs has one but i want to make sure.
 
check the stickies
 
just my advice...I've seen tons of "florida gar" listed that way in lots of lfs, and they all look the same-brown, with the dark stripe on the side of the body, with some spots-now, the difference that I noticed, because I just got a true 3in gator gar is that it's darker in color-appears almost grayish, yellower in the fins, has dots, white belly, and the key is in its snout-it appears to be a lot wider
hope this helps...let me know if you want me to post a pic, it's so dam cute I might anyways!!!
 
here we go...my little monster!!!

Thankyou for the reply. I have 2 new gars that have yet to be positively identified. These gars look very similar to them. I'll post some take and post some pics right now.
