Question
  I just added a Florida Gar to my fish tank. I was looking at him closely and noticed a few spots that are green almost fungus looking there is about 4 or 5 of these spots on the fish. They are not very big, but they are raised above the skin. They may be nothing but i just want to make sure. Thank You for your time mike

Answer
Hi Mike,
 I am unfamiliar with keeping gars in a tank so I have not seen that before.  Your best bet is not to do anything dramatic and just see how things develop.
