My new gar

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
that's cause people mistake them for gars instead of charcins. Gars (Ginglymodi) belong to the family Lepisosteidae and there are only 7 species of true gars(and several hybrids)

Atractosteus Spatula --alligator gar
Atractosteus Tristoechus --cuban gar
Atractosteus Tropicus --Tropical gar

Lepisosteus Platyrinchus --florida gar
Lepisosteus Occulatus --spotted gar
Lepisosteus osseus --longnose gar
Lepisosteus platostomus --shortnose gar

notice you dont see needlenose there:)
 
its not a true gar but if you like it keep it then it wont suck....
