show your longnose.

[E_americanus]

a florida/spotted get to be about 24". they are the smallest and easiest to care for. and dont require as much room as other gar species.

smallest species is technically the shortnose gar, not the Florida/spotted. captive sizes are variable for both species and depend on a lot of different factors. although the shortnose has a smaller wild max size, the Florida/spotted is better suited for the home aquaria and generally the gar of choice for those just getting into the group of fishes--

i remember reading that shortnose are the smallest species now. i said that cuz the F/S are as you said better for aquaria, and easiest to accomadate in size.
