Masillosteus kelleri is a weird one with a very short snout.. Awesome fossil gars as always though Phil..

It is a spotted.. It is interesting just how much these wild fish differ from what are normally seen in tanks.. We really should have also got pics of this fish before moving it 2 hours in a white container. The colors where really vivid when we first got it. (It is coming back a bit though FYI Sol..little guy is also doing great and just took down a frozen bloodworm Gets cyprinid fry and Zooplankton from now on but had to see if it would take it)
