I think this is a tropical gar, I just want to confirm with you experts?
He's about 13" and was a last minute $75 Craig's list pick up last night. I got him in my 450 community tank, hopefully he's not to aggressive or he will go in with my Goonch to learn some manners :naughty:

yes t-gar...very nice fish...i do believe there were some pics of this particular fish posted some days ago...say bye-bye to your angel fish...i don't find it amusing that you'd throw it in with the goonch just cause the fish does what comes naturally...

Yeah the goonch thing is a joke. I'm setting up a 360 now for the Angles. Now I'm motivated to get it done lol

PS-- may also want to review regulations on gars in AZ...not quite sure, but i thought they were illegal out there (just may not want to publicize your location too much).
