Firstly, ello everyone. I haven't been on here for a while now. I've always wanted a gar in my tank and while I was in one of my lfs I spotted these little fellas labled up as Florida gars. Can anyone confirm this, I've been looking at E Americanus's juvenile ID pinned post and it looks like they are. I heard they can get mixed up with Spotted gars. Also what kind of size do they get? At the moment they're both around 12", I only want 1 but how long could it live in a 300 litre tank for? I heard they're slow growers
