See pics below, any thoughts on a ID for this guy? Got him when I traded in an albino oscar a few months back, LFS guy didn't know whether mono, ocell, etc. He is now around 4", maybe just under that.
Also, I'm looking to introduce him into my 125 which currently houses a 10"-12" florida gar (who is relatively timid for all intents and purposes). Yes, I know that this is not big enough for either fish long term. That will be resolved in time but I'm hoping that they will be compatible for long term (have seen several instances of these species doing well in a community setting on this forum). Right now, the gar is the only fish in the 125.
The gar definitely would have to do some work to eat this thing as is (his mouth is smaller than the bass), but I guess he could kill it if he wanted too. How big should this bass be before I tried this introduction?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
