interesting . . . i recently purchased a 7 inch florida and his mouth is always closed. i would not worry about your gator gar, as long as he's eating. my florida is still not eating well and i've had him for about 2 weeks. i like the look of your florida swimming with his mouth agape. it makes him look like a true predator.
