They had him labled as a marbled and I figured if I posted him here you all would let me know. Gars are not my specialty.

I posted this in the Characins Media Lounge and a few members seem to think it is a spotted or a florida:

I am thinking it is a Lepisosteus platostomus(shortnose) according to the Gar ID sticky.

Can anyone make an educated guess as to which it may be?

Here are some pics of what I think it may be(some members might not be able to see these pics).

And here are my pics of mine:
 
i would say its a FL gar
 
I think I'm going to take him back. Thanks guys.
I do want him but my dat keeps rushing to the surface everytime he notices him and like someone posted in my other thread my bichirs might get ahold of him.
I appreciate the ID though.
