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 (Start clockwise from the top left fish)
