anybody have a gar webpage, that will tell me how to tell the types apart.

the otehr day i was at a kinda new but old petland,(they moved so i dont know if it would be old or new)
and i saw some fishes i was going to pick up for cheaper prices than some of the stores by me, for example:
they had a sale on big convicts 2/10, both black and pink
white devils for 3.99'
female bettas 1.99(kinda expensive)
silver needle fish 7.99(cheaper than 13.99 at my other store)
silver arowana 39.99
flower horns(fake) 14,99
and than i ran into this: flordia gars at a nice size, about 6-7 inches for 14.99

now i alwas wanted to try them, and i understand they are tank busters, but onces it outgrows the indoor tank, outside pond you go. but anyway: it is a untrained lfs and i wanted to just figure out what type of gar it is.

This might help you at least get started. http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/pictures/Lepisosteidae.html

o wow, thanks, from the page it kinda looks like a spotted gar, or a short nosed.

this should give you more than enough info.

i should go get the gar, that page was helpful, and i think it is a bargan at 15 dollars, just the size should be scary.
