🐟 Platinum Alligator Gar – (Atractosteus spatula) – Rare Trophy-Sized Freshwater Predator for Sale

The Platinum Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) is a breathtaking, rare color morph of one of North America’s largest freshwater fish. Native to the southern United States, this gar is prized for its brilliant, snow-white to metallic platinum coloration, which stands out dramatically against its prehistoric, armor-plated body.

Its combination of rarity, size, and beauty makes it one of the most sought-after monster fish in the hobby.
