There are very few physical differences between the two. Florida's are more common in the pet trade though.

Agreed.... if mine confirm to be florida, then I would say the florida gar which you post in the other thread is the best so far

They all have needle like teeth of course. I just felt from the pictures I browsed, Florida Gars seem to have so much and are visible even with their jaws closed especially at adult stage...and like I said I could be wrong.

I see Polypterus here, he can help you. But I really feel yours are Florida Gars. For an easy check, look at the skin between the lower jaw of your Gars, if the skin is scaled..then it's a definite Spotted Gar, however if it's just plain skin, then it's a definite Florida Gar.

I also have a pair of Florida's. They look just like yours. You have a great pair. Sounds like a real smooth line you use on women.

I've never heard that and as far as I know there are no physical differences. More than likely they are Floridas though.
