i hate to break the news to ya but those arent florida gars, although they are sold as gars there not really a "true" gar fish at all! its a characin and although they resemble the "gar" its really isnt. ive seen them sold as marble gar,marble line gar,south american gar. but there not really a gar there mor related to the needle fish. the way to tell the difference is by the split tail, "true" gars have a rounded tail. dont feel bad when i fist bought one of these i was tricked into thinking i bought an alligator gar! cool fish tho either way!
