Jardini Tank mate

[KIdfish]

I was wondering if i can keep a jardini with other fish like gars and bichir. i have 2 bichir and 1 spotted gar. my gar is about 7" and my 2 bichir is about 5". i said i was going to get a jardini a few months ago but something came up and i have to move back on the jardini. yesterday i went to my local fish store and they have an austrian jardini for $100 its about 4-5". i want to put it in my 120g in my room with my gar and bichir for a while until they can go in the pond. any tips, advice, or ideas would help. Thank you!

From experience they dont bother bottom dwellers but chases midlevel swimmers. I have bichirs and rays with jardinis. My midlevels were big americans and other jardinis.

Also had an alligator gar before, depending on the size, it can easilly snap a jar in a blink of an eye.

May work but risky.

Short answer...Zero...

is it ok if my gar is almost twice the size of the jardini?

You're feeding your gar expensive live feeder!

have 4 gold fish in there to test the tank. after the tank is all good i put the gar in there and it doesn't seen like its picking on the gold fish or going after them at all. all of the gold fish are about 1"-1.5"
