New Guy.... Tropical Gar?

[Egon]

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

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...

Nice addition.
I'm sure the gar experts will tell you if it's a tropical.
I think it may be a tropical.

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).
