I cought a 3 foor aligator gar the same day I cought the florida freshwater stingray. Check with online sellers ( aquascape ) or online sellers in florida they might have some.
Baby Alligator Gars

That is without a doubt the most beautiful gar I have ever seen. Great story too - what an unexpected bonus.
My wife and I were snorkeling in Florida last year in a shallow, protected bay. We were about to head in when she saw a fish that appeared to be watching us - turning as we swam around us to track our movement. She asked me what it was; I said that it looked like an alligator gar but that I must be mistaken as we were in the bay. Nope, it was an alligator gar. Checked the Audubon guide and verified that they do occassionally stray out into brackish or even full saltwater, usually while they're young.
They're just full of surprises.
