One of my gars (not sure a florida or spotted gar) is kind of light blue in color especially on its back area. Is it normal for a florida/spotted gar to be like that? The lightings may have accentuated the blue a bit but it gives the general idea of what I am talking about.

One of mine is grey, then on the smaller gar it is yellow, like a tan yellow on the top of the gar. IDK why at all, but nothing wrong with mine. So should be fine, never seen one that color before.
 
After looking a bit, it might be from the lights. Look at the two bubbles they have a blue tint.
 
It looks like that gars scales are more silver in color than tan (like the other gar in the pics), and so its picking up the blue in the lights more clearly and reflecting it back. But its a very nice gar any way you look at it!
