I never said they where not Gar... I was asking how do you know they are not an Esox species. For the record both Redfin and Chain Pickeral do exist in Florida and given your photos (very blurry and beyond adequate for ID) they could easily be just that given the similar larval morphology. Both are very similiar in appearance and behavior at this size..

This is a valid question. Just because you saw gar spawning does not mean you got gar. (I get Grass pickerel and Musky regularly with Gar fry) For your info also gar eggs do not hatch in one day... What you got where sac fry of some species and they are not by default gar just cause you saw them there. It is a little naive, if you ask me, to just assume something "just cause"..

There also seems to be a discrepancy in expected morphology between the sac fry you showed earlier and the fish you have now which I personally find interesting.. I'm not saying they are not the same fish I'm saying it is interesting and likely temperature related. The coloration of these is also interesting and not quite normal for Lepisosteus platyrhinchus or L. osseus.. Have no clue on that either but interesting...

BTW... Got that brine hatching yet? you have only a few more days and then the fun begins....
 
we dont have pickerel in our lakes

i saw gar spawning there, and the probably spawned there days before, considering it was raining that day, and it had been raining everyday before, for awhile (this is florida, it does that)

Poly: u seem to always be looking to bring someone down, ur not changing my mind, they are gar

so BIG UPS!!!! TA All MY HATAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!!

hes not bringing you down. he is just saying that they might not be a lepisostied species. and we wont know until they are about 3 or 4". and yes there are pickeral in FL. here are some links.

that's like saying "The world is flat. this is because when we look straight, we see it as FLAT. i dont care what the satelite pictures look like, they're not changing my mind, THE WORLD IS FLAT."

no one's putting you down, just have an open mind to what people who have had a whole hell of a lot more experience than you have to say. or they're just going to stop talking altogether, and it'll be at everybodies lost.

You can easily tell if they are a gar right now as the larval morphology is rather distinct... One can not tell that with blurry photos though..

"We dont have pickerel in our lakes"... Ummm sure OK

Try something new... READ...COMPREHEND and then RESPOND... I'm not trying to "change your mind" or to "bring you down" I'm asking you------> How do you know they are not ESOX ? <------- You have yet to answer this aside from some anecdotal and observational comments that are invalid... This does not ID a fish... The fish is ID'd through the fishes characteristics..

Anyhow I'm done with you as a whole as you have little to offer as far as continuation of Gar knowledge is concerned.. It is absolutely pointless even trying to deal with you...
