Gars will often either darken or lighten depending on the tank colours. Dark tank results in a darker gar, light tank lighter gar. Is it's current tank very light?

No!! The ambience is quite dark,infact the lights are usually off in the room where I hve kept my tank.

When the lights are out my floridas colours will fade. This is not unusual. Have you tested the water at all?

Wrong. Under captive conditions gators regularly show dark colouration.
