Beautiful fish, never taken my fancy though.

xander;2836156; said:no it's even worse when the gar is young. they are not good tankmates period. that being said i'm pretty convinced you have a fl/sp gar, crocs are extremely hard to come by
edit: just looked back and saw the pic, it's 100% florida/spotted gar.
oh well i didn't even pay 10$ for him, and what do you mean they are not good tank mates? like community set up , he is with some oddballs but everyone sort of minds their own business
