can apraima be in the same tank with alligator gar?
I don't see why not as long as they're similar in size.

Alligator gar can reach over 3m in length and 300 plus pounds in weight.

They should be able to live together providing that the space is big enough for the both of them. And of course, they're the same size.

Well, if it's in a tank - you'll fail.
Arapaima will out grow an alligator gar no problem. You'll have aggression during feeds.
How big of a system do you have going that you can house two animals that will get over 9 feet long?
