i had a florida gar that my gf named platy about 3 years ago. i dont name fish my self but platy was about as cool as a gar could get. if you opened the canopy he would come up to the top of the water so you could pet him. i had to give him away do to him out growing a 90 gallon and i was in an apartment and could not setup a bigger tank. i think he was 20" long when i gave him away and i did not need a net to catch him just picked him up. my gf still b#tches at me to this day for giving him away. lol
