Oh really? So what’s the closest to a real gar? I think it looks like Florida Gar doesn’t it?

They do remind me of a Florida Gar but not true gar. These would be closest thing to a real gar. Even bicuda as well reminds me of gar but also a Characin.

Needle nose gar. Requires brackish waters usually. Can get up to a foot long.

And also not a true gar.
