it is not a GAR then...
anyway, a cute looking fish.
too bad it is a small fish, it is good if this kind of fish can grow up to 3 to 4feet, wahaha, cant imagine it.

croc gar are a hybrid between either a spotted and an alligator gar or a florida and an alligator gar. the fish photographed is not a gar at all. it looks like some kind of characin to me? i know that doesnt narrow it down much, but if it helps any it's not a gar.

I agree with the above statement.

I agree with the above statement.

i left one out. i forgot there were two variants of the croco gar.

crocodile gar= florida/spotted gar + alligator gar
shortnose + alligator gar

That's a tough one to keep, i heard they only eat live foods. I suppose it has much to do with shipping stress.
