Don't alligator gars get to be like 6 feet long? If I'm not mistaken what are you going to do with it when it outgrows even your bigger tank?

 

[cane76]

its not a alligator gar tho

 

[fish-r-fancy]

its not a alligator gar tho

Then what kind of gar is it? The reason I thought it was an alligator gar was because the other day when I went to the lfs to buy a new tank I looked at the fish and the exact fish you have was labeled alligator gar. Looks like the lfs made yet another mistake. Sorry

its quite hard to identify gars when they are small,gator gars and crocodile gars have a much broader snout than all the other species and they have 2 rows of teeth.this was my gator gar before i had to get rid of him he started attacking my fish once he hit 12" it even had a bite on me

the gar i have now is a spotted gar they only grow to 2-3ft

Ok looks like I'm going to have to keep my eyes out for a spotted gar. Thank you

 

[cane76]

you will need a tank wider than 24" for a spotted gar long term.they are not flexible at all so once it reaches 24"+ long it will not be able to turn round

Oh that's to bad because just recently I bought a tank that is 6X2X2 feet long.
