yeah its kind of a bad pic seeming as the focus is on the arowana.... but I figured people are smart on here and they would know even with that pic. I can take one of just the gar if its needed.

That's because it's not a gar. It's a Characin.

really? i did a quick google of that and its nothing like it.....

 

[TheBroc]

cancel that. i did come up with it.... my LFS sold it as a "SOUTH AMERICAN GAR"

 

[TheBroc]

so after research this fish only gets up to 12" which is much smaller than a gar correct? is a 135 GALLON tank suitable for this? ( only 6" right now)

Yes it is not a true gar...but just because they are illegal in California doesn't mean that he couldn't have one...just sayin'
