Others are also available from time to time, but those above are probably the most common. I wrote an article on this topic for TFH, in 2003, I think, describing the species above. It's the native fish issue, which I think may be available through Jonah's Aquarium.
Gar were also available in stores awhile back, but I haven't seen any in the shops where I live for a couple of years.
