nice florida...

I saw that one coming by only reading the title of the thread.:ROFL:
Every time someone showshis Spotted Gar, (as did I) he'll get congratz on his Florida.
How did those fishnames ever get switched in the fishbizz?
Must have been the spots.
Love your fish, nice dark markings.
More pics, please!:naughty:
 
What is the difference between the spotted and the florida? How can you tell at that size and please post some comparison pics.

The background was painted onto the outside of the acrylic. I used a aged bronze, copper, and black spray paint. Lay 3/4" masking tape down while twisting and making shapes. Then I spray the copper then bronze. Removed the tape and painted the whole thing black so that the black would show through where the tape was.
 
Looks good, makes me want another one..:D

Got this one about 4 months ago at a lfs. It's spots were very washed out but you could see it had a lot of them. I picked it up for $25.
 
the distance between the eye and the gill plate in relation to the distance to the end of the nose spots have a longer nose...floridas the eye/gill plate is about the same as the eye/tip of nose...similar patterns...still a nice fish i have one also...here is my florida...and conners spot...my florida is with the hybrid cat in backround
