Point 1 post #9.... Stupid common name but a gar it is likely an asian import fish... ID is real hard on these fish... They are all Florida / spotteds but may actually be Florida x spotted hybrids.. It is not clear at this time..

They r not gars......look at the tail.........gars don't have that type of tail fins.......

They grow out of those little trailers on the tail, but gar do have them when young

yeah, somehow we are always the ignorant ones. I quit trying to inform fish store staff all together...i always end up walking away red faced and feeling less intelligent than when i walked in. I will however help inform the customer if i hear the lfs give them mis-information.

I do the same. LFS owners think they are know it alls. and wont listen to a thing anyone else says. You may have already read this somwhere else, but i bought my Florida and Longnose gars as 'dwarf gars', i tried telling the owner of the store that the gar was a Florida or Spotted and he said there was no such thing. It made me really mad. Oddly enough i get most of my fish from that store. lol
