That is a platinum Florida gar. When they get older their spots normally disappear or they keep them. When they’re stressed their spots normally pop back up. I lost one a couple months ago. RIP Garlic

Longnose gars. As for how to choose one, it'll come down to preference. Pick something that doesn't have any defect and something you actually like.
