looks like a spotted gar to me....

maybe...

a florida gar too....?

Really need some Gar Pro here to shed some light.

 

[Polypterus]

It is a Florida or Spotted
There is not much point to try a differentiate the two and in most if not all cases it is too difficult by photo alone to determine. Care is identical as is growth rate and max captive size.

Very nice fish... good luck with him/her...

Beautiful Markings on that Florida/Spotted!

already been said, Florida/spotted for sure...i just wanted to comment on that amusing "contortionist" shot of the fish --
