Most gars I see are 12-14 inches. But from reading it seems they can get over 20inches. But never seen one that large. Not sure full size 100%. Question- Is that a bottom drain in the tank? What are you using to keep the sand out of it?

With it's back broken like that it probably should be euthanized.

Both my spotted Florida gar were about 22 inches in the first year. I got them at about 9-10 inches. And I have seen gar that broke their back survive and heal but they look miserable and can bearly swim. Its a sad sight.

I would euthanize that one if it can't swim right and get its own food.

If it can't even swim, then it definitely needs to be euthanized. Such a fish will not live a good life due to its severe disfigurement and will die a slow death if you don't put it out of its misery.
