Aquabid Gar ID?

[dmoore0988]

I'm pretty new to gars, I've never kept one but have been doing some research on them lately but still not to strong at IDing them. So what kind of gar is this?

He says they were sold to him as alligator gar but he knows theyre not so he called them marble line gars. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

very likely Florida gar...but also know that TFD sucks big time at ID'ing gars, and just puts random names with them...thus contributing to the confusion. again, likely Florida gar, but you never know what you will get, and they aren't the most agreeable folks in terms of correcting that sort of mistake--

I would'nt buy a feeder from that place. Worst and rudest customer service I have ever experienced.

I had the same experience a while back when I was going to order another fish, but their prices cant be touched by anyone else
