cuban gar resting on the bottom of the tank

I've never had a cuban or tropical gar but all of my other gars will spend time on the bottom of the tank from time to time. As long at it's still feeding and active, I wouldn't worry about it sitting on the bottom of the tank (unless it's breathing hard and has a washed out color). I think they like to take a break from tanning on top of the tank.
gars usually stick to the bottom when there tank is to small, what size tank is he in and how large is he?
funny...i thought this was the same gar that was "lost" to a friend's pond several years back...but has somehow been re-discovered...i could be wrong though.
