I hope you have a swimming pool for him oneday! They grow huge and will eat a ton!

Edit- if it was an alligator gar you would know. The head would be wider and the jaws would be shorter

 

[aquandrew]

yeah i would say florida gar or longnose

 

[Fishhooked]

Yeah he's deff got along nose. Do all gar have teeth? Cause this does

 

[MMantelli]

Oh yes there like razors. That guy you got there will easily get the size of shaq's leg. I've caught a few while fishing they have very hard bony mouths a ton of teeth and a pretty nasty attitude.

 

[aquandrew]

they have nasty teeth lol ive caught a few longnose and shortnose out of the river. this isnt my pic but this is what their mouth will look like

 

[Fishhooked]

Well i reserved a zebra knife fish. Go to pick him up and there's ick in the tank.. So i walked away with this.

Hes in with a black ghost knife, Oscar, red tail cat... 180gal

 

[MMantelli]

Good luck is love to have one as a pet but have no idea what I would do with it once it got to big. Mabey eat it no too bony. Lol

I had a pike chicld that came up missing. Hence the new fish.. But it's proving to be a job feeding this fish.

 

[Fishhooked]

Looks like a needle nose gar. Aka freshwater needlefish

Missing? Like possibly eaten by another or bailed?

 

[Fishhooked]

I loved that fish.. I had a top with a hole and even though the wife says I'm wrong. I blame her cat.. Icing on the cake. The cats not declawed... I also lost a shovelnose awhile back. That pike chicld was the biggest, most aggressive, crazy mess around fish. I think the only culprit could've been my red tail.

 

[Fishhooked]

So.... The cats my enemy

 

[Fishhooked]

They also have been selling rocket gars but that's not what it was labeled as.. I need it big though.. Well atleast to compost with my red tail

 

[MMantelli]

So.... The cats my enemy

Bad kitty! Put a black sock over its head every time it goes near the tank. LoL j/k

 

[Fishhooked]

I just looked again and it seems like his under belly is a silverish blue.. Does that help
