Xanthic Shortnose. :D

Xanthic shorty

I found this pic nearly a year ago and wanted to email it to u for an proper id but I forgot when work got hectic. I think it was for sale.
 
heheh, as quite a few have guessed, it's a xanthic (gold) shortnose gar. my initial thoughts were that of a xanthic cuban, but after looking at it for some time, i decided shortnose. as Sol stated, the give-aways are...

: fat, elongate caudal peduncle and long pelvic fins...

before Sol takes drastic action, i'd better post this here too...haha

Next quiz

i snapped a quick shot of 9 of the 10 gars in my gar grow out tank AKA "The gar pen". i know some are at impossible angles, but it kind of adds to the fun! see if you can identify them all :D (Start clockwise from the top left fish:))
