so wat ur trying to say is dat gars r illegal to own in california? cause if they r i'l reconsider in getting one haha
Yes gars are illegal in cali. And I highly doubt its a spotted gar. What they are selling is 99.9% florida gar for $15. It has spots so they call it a spotted gar.
And a Florida will grow very fast until say 12" and can reach say 24", but often don't get that big in our tanks.
But still could!
But still could!
...But to comment on your title question, I've seen some pretty big true spotted gar in the wild. I seined one last weekend that was right at 46 inches long, but that's the longest one I've ever seen. 36 to 40 inches is not terribly rare in east Texas.
