Baby Alligator Gars

[Diskboy12]

can someone post a small florida and a small true gator on here? I want to get a florida, but the ones at my LFS are labled as Gators..anyone?

I don't have any pictures offhand, but the gar forum stickies lead to several websites with juvenile shots of both species.

The gator gar is easily recognizable as a juvenile. Just look at the snout and the big eye. Once you see a picture you won't ever mistake one for a florida.

in my opinoin, 15$ is cheap, fore a fish like that.

ALL Gars for sale in Bombay (India) are labeled "Alligator Gars"..

I am not sure if it's the same case in your corner of the world. Please post pictures for a positive ID.

Cheers,

pls refer to juvie Gar ID pix here. was really helpful i wonder why people dont use it since most posts in the gar forum is asking for an ID.

cheers!

Probably not until well after the first year.

thanks

even so, it wont reach 14' or even 8' building a bigger housing pushes it aleast to grow longer not fatter. i dont want my gar to get stunted since im really excited about it. it rally grows damn fast. mine jumped for 6" to 8" in ten days.
