[neverrain]

Thanks in advance!

 

[Polypterus]

Longnosed Lepisosteus osseus by all appearances has some interesting morphologic variance to it though...
How big is it? and any idea how old?

 

[neverrain]

no idea how old it is.. but its about 9" now.. growth rate is pretty crazy since i only had it for about 2 month and it grew about 3-4 inches

It was sold to me as a Florida gar =/

 

[Polypterus]

Ah...Ok
it is well stuffed thats what makes it look a little off from normal..
It is a Nice Long nosed....That is pretty typical growth on them..
