i know they are not gators. but they somewhat resemble longnoses to me. and the reason i didnt mention shortnose is cuz all the pics i have seen of juvi shortnose resemble juvi gators.E_americanus;1972069; said:i agree with richard, definitely not gator gars, and most likely not longnose...telling the different between spotted and shortnose (via pics and not inspecting the fish in person) will take a little further development.
nice pics though, and best of luck in raising them to larger size. please keep us posted on their development!--

at this size a shortnose gar will look nothing like a juvenile gator gar, so you may be looking at larger specimens...either way gators tend to look very different from the other species. shortnose/spotted/Florida gar at this size will look very similar, even longnoses sometimes look like shortnose/spotteds...just continue to update the pics and the true species will become clear within a week or two--city_of_evil6661;1973079; said:i know they are not gators. but they somewhat resemble longnoses to me. and the reason i didnt mention shortnose is cuz all the pics i have seen of juvi shortnose resemble juvi gators.
