Default Gar ID Needed

Dear bros,

Is this a Florida or a Spotted Gar? Cos the snout appears to be longer than the bigger Florida Gar I have.

This link shares the differences between a Florida and a Spotted. But still need expert's advise. Thank you!

Looks like a Gator Gar to me from the snout and possibility of having two rows of teeth instead of one.

Bro, confirm not a gator. cos gator has broad short snout. whereas this species has slightly longer and narrow snout.

I think the easiest way to differentiate true spotted and florida is the price tag.

Too difficult to identify, they are very similar.
