South American Spotted Gar

[wwcichlids]

Just got some of these as Boulengerella maculata
but for some reason I question this. Anyone out there confirm or deny what they are. Very nice looking fish.

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

appear to be floridas

That is what I was thinking. Very curious to see what the general consensus is.
