Hi. Rescued a gar. Was told it was an alligator gar by the lady. (It is most definitely NOT an alligator gar) I’ve been told by somebody (probably) more knowledgeable than her that it’s a Florida gar. But the coloration looks weird on him to be a Florida gar. His name is Alex Onion Peach. He smiles when you eat your breakfast with him, and he’s very very sweet. He’s in a temporary tank for now. But will soon be in a big tank. (So please don’t yell at me) I’ve included pictures. Please identify. You’re more than welcome to follow up that identification with a compliment as to how damn cute he is.

Looks a little faded still. Has it darkened up a bit since these pics were taken? I cant ID by these pics either.
