Gars are pretty hardy. Neutral PH (7) should be fine. They are carnivorous fish.
They can be fed feeder fish such as goldfish and minnows ( try to avoid feeding goldfish as they are parasite-laden) . They can eventually be taught to eat shrimp
and other meaty foods. Make sure you have the tank space for them as they grow
big.

How big are babies??
They should be ok in a 20G tank FOR NOW. Throw in some feeder guippies and they should be fine eating them.
