Out of those two, you're looking at spotted gars considering where you are. You might also find longnose gar and possibly even shortnose gar (not 100% on those, though). Of the three, the spotted gar is your best choice for a first gar if you intend on collecting it yourself.
going to point out as far as filtration goes.. neither of mine appreciated a high flow rate until they got larger 12"+ They need just as much filtration as other fish even though they will come up for air. They are a pretty heavy bio-load species imo, but not the worst. they need water quality thats consistantly good, they don't tolerate ammonia or high nitrates very well.
i would like to noe how big can a spotted gar grow up to any pic last time i saw on series of "monster fish', it abt 2m ot least but it not the same species
i have put together two gar with fire cidlicd n other type seem to be in harmony only till feeding time
