My New Gar! What am I ?

[E_americanus]

This is in the family of Alligator Gar.

Alligator Gar has 3 different type so far.

They are called
Common Gar,
Spotted Gar,
and the one you have, its called a Crocodile Gar.

The Croc Gar is the one that I am looking for here in California. Where did you buy this one at ?

Also, for these 3 types.. they have variations of long nose or short nose..

for example,
long nose common gar,
short nose common gar,
long nose spotted gar,
short nose spotted gar,
long nose croc gar,
short nose croc gar.

the Croc gar has a wider jaw and a blackish body. From what it looked it, your Gar is it.

this information is all nonsense--

Monster - how the heck can you say girl ? I don't think they can be sexed at all until they get about 1 1/2 feet, and the girls start fattening up?
Great idea on soaking the pellets - Wiggles - FD Krill, which is easy enough - it's just a matter of time.
Thanks!

MonsterMinis is a girl I don't think she was referring to your gar which is a very nice specimen.
