"That's not a real hujeta gar! That's a lepisosteus!" Sorry, I needed to do that.

My vote is for florida as well. Nice pick up!
 
btw gotta give my husband credit for this find.. he saw the label and said "hey honey... this is a real gar! what kind is it?"...I'm teaching him well...
 
Florida gar fa sure

Now that hes settled in... and yes.. there are 2 albino LF bristle nose in the tank.. and they leave him alone.. soon as hes big enough to be moved to a 40 no pleco tank-mates.

Deffinately a small Florida Gar. Make sure it has easy access to food at that age. I wish you the best of luck.
