I feel for you here bud. I saw a Florida gar in big Al's when I was 12 years old. I went in there monthly asking if they had gars for 4 straight years before I finally saw someone selling 3 on kijiji. After 4 years of waiting I finally got my gars!!
My Florida Gar 11+ years.

Yep, the gar is still going strong. I had a disease wipe out a bunch (large clown knife, 2 orino pbass, jag, osca) But the gar pulled through. He is enjoying the 180 with a jack dempsey. Thanks for the bump. I wish I would have had him in a larger tank from the beginning. I would say a 125 is the smallest. He really should be in a 240. But I have had him for over 16 years now.
Ha, thx. Just moved the stand into my basement tonight for the new tank. I have to paint a wall before I put it into the final spot. Then, Sunday, the bigger tank will be in and on the stand. I measured the tank tonight, and it ended up being 96x30x25. So a little smaller, but still bigger than the 6x2x2 I have now.
Gar and JD are still doing well. Just been feeding on cichlid pellets. Adding a clown knife tomorrow, as well as doing a water change. I have noticed these little white "bugs" in small groups inside on the glass. No idea what they are, and they aren't on the fish.
