The internet says their scientific name is Boulengerella maculata I searched that and it came up with a different gar so when you search marbled gar florida gars come up so very confusing but search Boulengerella maculata
Do you have any pics of one? It would be a bit easier to identify if we all had a pic to go off from. Now I'm not an expert by any means, I'm just asking for those that still have yet to chime in. I have a rough idea of what you could be talking about but I'd like to know for certain if my hunch is correct.
O yeah they're just spotted gar. They'll end up a bit too big for a 75g imo, also they will lose the horizontal line that cuts Tru their body.
Honestly I wouldn't trust em with cichlids. They aren't exactly built to defend themselves from a smaller and more aggressive fish.
Really? even with the standard demensions of 18 inchs deep are their any other charicins that could work?

Could some floating plants help? they stay at the top I think so would it still not work if their is plants? sorry if it sounds like im not listening the addvise is really great just trying to find a cool oddball and I really like the looks of them
Not really, most that I know of get upto 2ft in length. If ya want a gar look alike however ik peppermint crocodile Pike's would be a decent replacement same with belonesox. Here's pics of both. Top one is the croc, while the second is the belonesox.
