My GF found this gar that was a trade in along with 3 other gars that were just normal looking. She tooks some photos and decided to go ahead and have her get it. Its in my tank right now and this is the first Ive seen of gold on a gar besides the all gold ones. What you guys think of it?

It's just more fun this way...
Are there such things as albino gars?? The only other gar that I'm familiar with being of gold color belongs to Madding. But that gar is a solid, bright gold, you can see the patterns on this one .. .very interesting...

I like his look. I believe there is a natural range of colors for them. I have 2 and one is fairly dark and the other is more golden. He appears very young and may darken with age.
 
it is infrequent, but not too uncommon...we see brighter gold ventro-lateral patterns in wild fish often. with a fish that young it will likely fade, but it may stick around at some level. nice looking fish!--
