I just picked this guy u last week from a moron. He was in a 20 gallon tank with like a 10 gallon filter on it. The guy took real good care of him. Anyways he said alligator gar which I know it is not. I think it is a Florida but would like a for sure ID. He is right at 12". This is the first one I have owned. He is in a 125 with my Armatus now but will be in a 550 (6'x5'x30") in a month or 2. He is still on live food unfortunately. I am hoping to ween him soon. Does it help ween them if there is a fish with them that eats raw? Anyways, thanks for the opinions.
