1-yes it's too small for any gar

imo smallest size for life for
-spotted/florida--5x2.5x2

-tropical/cuban/(longnose)--5x3x2

longnose and gators tend to need ponds

Why is that? Is there too much competition for food or are the pbass and severum too aggressive for the gars? I do have a 320g (6' x 3' x 2.5'h) that has a HBRTG aro and 2 rays but I wanted to leave more room for the aro.

gars generally don't do well with cichlids for both of those reasons--
